Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder — Desert Ascetic & Pillar Saint
This prayer card features Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder, the extraordinary 5th-century ascetic who lived atop a pillar for decades in radical devotion to God. He is venerated in the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic Churches, and is honored as the patron saint of perseverance, ascetics, and those seeking purity of heart.
A Handmade, Prayer-Filled Devotional – Not a Mass-Produced Item
Every card from The Eastern Church™ is crafted slowly, reverently, and entirely by hand. Unlike commercial printers who use thin cardboard, your card is printed on premium photo paper for exceptional clarity, then double-laminated to ensure it lasts a lifetime.
Your order is not pulled from a shelf.
When it comes in, it becomes an opportunity for prayer.
As the card is created, I pray for you and for whoever will receive it. I pray the Jesus Prayer continuously, and I ask Saint Simeon Stylites to intercede for the intentions of the one who will hold this card. Every step—from design, to printing, to cutting, to rounding each corner—is done with prayerful intention.
A Beautiful Gift of Faith
Whether kept in a Bible, prayer corner, wallet, or given to someone seeking strength in hardship, this card is a durable and reverent way to honor Saint Simeon’s witness of unwavering devotion.
