We create handcrafted prayer cards featuring both widely venerated and rare, hard-to-find saints from the Orthodox, Eastern Catholic and all apostolic traditions. Every card is printed, cut, and finished by hand, and prayed over throughout the entire creation process.

Some images used are devotional renderings inspired by traditional iconography and are not intended to be exact canonical icons. We fully honor and encourage the use of hand-written icons according to the traditions of the Church, while offering these cards as an accessible tool for personal prayer.

Made prayerfully, one at a time, by hand in Austin, Texas.

The Saints Known Only to God

We track down the lives of obscure, holy people that the world has largely forgotten.

Don't let their examples be lost. Sign up to learn about one rarely known saint every week.

Thank you!
