Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Prayer Cards Handmade and Prayed Over
Discover Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic prayer cards created one at a time, with real prayer at every step. Each card honors the Byzantine Catholic tradition with high-resolution iconography, museum quality photo paper, and double lamination built to last a lifetime.
What Makes These Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic 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 Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic 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 museum quality 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 Byzantine Catholic tradition: honoring saints and devotions beloved in the Ruthenian Church.
These cards are ideal for parish feast days, catechism classes, retreat gifts, prayer corners at home, or welcoming catechumens and newly received faithful.

How Each Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Prayer Card Is Created
Your 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 the Byzantine Catholic tradition.
- Prayer: offering intentions for the person who will receive the card while preparing the print.
- High-resolution printing: using museum quality photo paper so that every line 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 saints loved throughout the Byzantine Catholic Churches.

What is unique about Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic prayer cards?
These prayer cards are rooted in the Byzantine Catholic tradition as lived in the Ruthenian Church.

Are these approved for parish use?
Yes — these are devotional items and can be freely used in homes or parishes to honor saints and teach the faith. Many priests bless them before distribution.
Can I request a saint not listed yet?
Yes. You can request new saints through the contact form. If a devotion matters to your parish or family, we would love the chance to honor it well.
Do you offer custom parish text?
Yes. For larger runs, the back can include your parish name, website, or local devotions (when appropriate).
How long do the cards last?
Because they are printed on museum quality photo paper and double-laminated, these are made to last for life.
Can these be gifted outside the Byzantine Catholic tradition?
Absolutely — many Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and seekers love receiving Byzantine saint cards as meaningful gifts.
