I have now read all the books read by Barbara and Sandra, this is one of two box set of notecards available from the writing team. I stumbled upon another volume by this writing team and have since reading that first one tracked down all but 1 in digital format. Because of a dual form of dyslexia I greatly prefer eBooks. The first volume I read was all about Holy Cards, and it was a fascinating read.
The description of this product states:
“Based on a collection of vintage holy cards, this set of notecards offers the perfect saint to send for every occasion. Send your best wishes with St. Casilda (invoked for luck), St. Vitus (invoked for laughter), and St. Teresa of Ávila (invoked for healing). For Mother’s Day there is St. Monica (Patron Saint of Mothers) and for graduations there is St. Thomas Aquinas (Patron Saint of Students). The gorgeous foil-stamped box includes 20 envelopes and 20 cards, each featuring a different saint.”
The cards in this box set in no particular order are:
Saint Margaret of Antioch
Saint Joseph
Saint Anthony Of Padua
Saint John the Baptist
Saint Monica
Saint Jude
Saint Norbert
Saint Adelaide
Saint Casilda of Toledo
Saint Anne
Saint Gabriel the Archangel
Saint Thomas Aquinas
Saint Theresa of Avila
Saint Vitus
Saint Julian the Hospitaller
Saint Therese of Lisieux
Saint Louis
Saint Patrick
Saint Joachim
Saint Joan of Arc
A sample card text is:
“Saint Vitus
Invoked for Laughter
D. 303
Feast Day June 15
SICILIAN BOY IMPRISONED AND MARTYRED BY THE ROMANS for his faith,
Vitus was said to have been entertained in his cell by a band of dancing angels. In the late Middle Ages, it became customary in Germany to celebrate his feast day by dancing all night. Eventually, Vitus became the patron saint of dancers, comedians, and entertainers.
PATRONAGES
hens, roosters, actors, brewers, comedians, dancers, pharmacists, vintners, neurological disorders
INVOKED AGAINST
snakebite, bedwetting, wild-animal attacks.”
This is another excellent product from the team who created it. It ties in well with the books the duo have written on Holy Cards, Mary, and Saints. This is a wonderful collection of cards. I enjoyed reading through he whole set, and look forward to using them for notes for friends and family . If you can track it down it is a great set of gift cards.
