Syro-Malabar Catholic Prayer Cards Handmade and Prayed Over
Discover Syro-Malabar Catholic saint cards created one at a time, with real prayer at every step. Each card honors priests, founders, and holy women of the Syro-Malabar Church and Saint Thomas Christian tradition with high-resolution iconography, museum quality photo paper, and double lamination built to last a lifetime.
What Makes These Syro-Malabar 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 Syro-Malabar 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 light 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 Syro-Malabar tradition: honoring the saints, blesseds, and founders of the Church of Saint Thomas Christians in India.
These cards are ideal for parish feast days, catechism classes, retreat gifts, or simply keeping Syro-Malabar saints close on your prayer table at home.

How Each Syro-Malabar Catholic Prayer Card Is Created
Your Syro-Malabar Catholic 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 Syro-Malabar 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 Syro-Malabar saints, blesseds, and founders.
