Orthodox Prayer Cards Handmade and Prayed Over
Discover Orthodox saint cards created one at a time, with real prayer at every step. Each card honors beloved saints, elders, and hierarchs of the Orthodox Church with high-resolution iconography, museum quality photo paper, and double lamination built to last a lifetime.
What Makes These Orthodox Prayer Cards Different
Most “holy cards” today are mass-produced on thin cardboard with little reverence for the saint or the person who will pray with them. At The Eastern Church™, each Orthodox card is treated as a small act of devotion:
- Made to order: nothing sits on a shelf; your order is created specifically for you or your parish.
- Printed on archival photo paper: to capture icon detail, color, and gold tones with clarity.
- Double-laminated: for a sturdy, lifelong card that can be carried, handled, and venerated daily.
- Covered in prayer: from design to trimming, prayers are offered for the person who will receive the card.
- Rooted in the Orthodox tradition: honoring the spirituality, martyrs, elders, and ascetics of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
These cards are ideal for parish feast days, catechism classes, retreat gifts, or simply keeping Orthodox saints and elders close on your prayer table at home.

How Each Orthodox Prayer Card Is Created
Your Orthodox prayer card is not simply “printed and shipped.” It moves through a quiet, prayerful process from beginning to end.
- Design: choosing an icon and layout that truly honors the saint and Orthodox tradition.
- Prayer: offering intentions for the person who will receive the card while preparing the print.
- High-resolution printing: using archival-quality photo paper so that every line of the icon remains clear.
- Double lamination: sealing the image in a durable, clear laminate that protects it for years of use.
- Hand trimming & corner rounding: each card is physically finished by hand, not by a machine stack-cutter.
From start to finish, the goal is simple: to create a small, sturdy object of devotion that helps you encounter Christ through the prayers of Orthodox saints, elders, and hierarchs.
