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 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 printing to trimming, prayers are offered for the person who will receive the card.
- Rooted in the Byzantine Catholic tradition: honoring the saints and worship life of the Ruthenian Church and the Byzantine Rite.
Ideal for parish feast days, catechism classes, retreat gifts, or simply keeping Byzantine saints close on your prayer table at home.

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.
- Selection: choosing an icon and layout that 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 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, one at a time.
The goal is simple: a small, sturdy object of devotion that helps you encounter Christ through the prayers of the saints, in the spirit of the Byzantine Rite.
