This handmade prayer card features Our Lady of Elige, one of the oldest and most cherished Marian icons of the Maronite Church, venerated for centuries in the ancient cave-shrine of Elige in the Qadisha Valley. The icon’s distinctive Syriac style — the solemn tenderness of the Theotokos, the Christ Child seated in blessing, and the two angelic figures — reflects the deep roots of early Eastern Christianity and the monastic heritage of Lebanon.
Each card is individually created by hand, printed on heavy museum-quality photo paper to preserve the depth and richness of the icon’s colors. It is then double-laminated for exceptional durability, ensuring the card will last a lifetime and can be passed down through generations as a devotional keepsake.
Throughout the entire creation process — printing, trimming, sealing, and laminating — every card is intentionally prayed over, asking God, through the intercession of Our Lady, to bless the person who will receive it. No two cards are made in a hurry; each one is a small act of devotion and sacred craftsmanship.
This prayer card is ideal for Maronite Catholics, collectors of Eastern Christian icons, devotees of the Mother of God, or anyone seeking the protection and comfort traditionally associated with Our Lady of Elige.
Perfect for personal use, parish gifts, retreats, or as a meaningful spiritual heirloom.
