Handmade to Order • Double-Laminated • Created with Prayer
This handmade prayer card honors Saint Paul of Thebes, the first Christian hermit and one of the most beloved Desert Fathers. Born in 3rd-century Egypt, he fled into the wilderness during the Roman persecutions and remained there for more than ninety years, living in total solitude, clothed only in palm leaves, fed daily by a raven sent by God. His life of purity, silence, and total surrender to Christ became the foundation of Christian eremitic monasticism.
Because of his life of radical holiness and unceasing prayer, Saint Paul of Thebes is the patron saint of hermits, desert monastics, those pursuing solitude and contemplation, those battling temptation, and all who long for purity of heart and the quiet love of God.
This is not a mass-produced card. Every Saint Paul of Thebes prayer card from The Eastern Church™ is made slowly and reverently, one at a time. Nothing is pulled from a shelf. Your order becomes a moment of intercession, crafted with intention.
Throughout the entire creation process, I pray for you.
I pray for the future recipient.
I pray to Saint Paul of Thebes, asking his intercession for your solitude, your spiritual battles, and your desire for a deeper walk with God.
And I pray the Jesus Prayer the entire time I design, print, double-laminate, trim, and finish your card.
The prayers are not separate from the crafting—
they are part of the crafting itself.
• Printed on ultra-high-quality professional photo paper
• Double-laminated for lifetime durability
• Hand-trimmed and hand-rounded
• Made individually, never mass-produced
• Created slowly, reverently, and with prayer
Each card becomes a small act of devotion.
Ideal for:
• Those seeking silence, purity, and spiritual clarity
• Anyone drawn to the Desert Fathers
• Monastics, hermits, and contemplatives
• Those fighting temptation or spiritual heaviness
• Orthodox, Eastern Catholic, and Roman Catholic prayer corners
• Gifts of encouragement for those entering religious life
A handmade, prayer-saturated devotional honoring Saint Paul of Thebes, the first hermit and father of the desert.
