Oriental Orthodox Prayer Cards Handmade and Prayed Over
Discover saint prayer cards inspired by the ancient holiness of the Oriental Orthodox Churches. Each card is created one at a time with real prayer at every step, printed on museum-quality photo paper, and double-laminated for a lifelong devotional you can carry, gift, and venerate daily.
What Makes These Oriental Orthodox Prayer Cards Different
Many “holy cards” today are mass-produced on thin stock with little reverence for the saint or the person who will pray with them. At The Eastern Church™, each card is treated as a small act of devotion.
- Made to order: nothing sits on a shelf; your card is created specifically for you or your parish.
- Printed on museum-quality photo paper: to preserve detail, color, and sacred beauty.
- Double-laminated: for a sturdy card built to last for life.
- Covered in prayer: prayers are offered from design to trimming for the person receiving the card.
- Rooted in ancient holiness: honoring Desert Fathers, monastic saints, martyrs, and teachers beloved across the Oriental Orthodox Churches.
Ideal for prayer corners, catechesis, parish feast days, retreat gifts, and anyone who wants the saints close—every day.

How Each Oriental Orthodox Prayer Card Is Created
Your card is not simply “printed and shipped.” It moves through a quiet, prayerful process from beginning to end.
- Design: choosing sacred imagery and a layout that honors the saint with reverence.
- Prayer: offering intentions for the person who will receive the card while preparing the print.
- High-resolution printing: using museum-quality photo paper so details remain clear.
- Double lamination: sealing the card for lifetime durability.
- Hand trimming & corner rounding: each card is physically finished by hand.
The goal is simple: a small, sturdy devotional that helps you encounter Christ through the prayers of His saints.
