New! Angels with Baby Jesus – Framed Holy Card – Catholic Keepsake

A beauiful holy card, in a beautiful frame. Perfect for a desk top, countertop, book shelf, or bedside stand. Wherever you’d like an inspiration point.

This charming card was made in 1921 mostly for American Catholics, with the prayer on the front printed in English. (The year is printed at the bottom of the original card which we've trimmed off.) The publisher, E. Boomard, was in the top 5, perhaps top 10, of the best holy card makers in the golden age of holy cards, which was France in the 19th and early 20th Centuries.

The quote starts with Luke 2:14, "Glory to God in the highest," and then adds a short prayer.

Our restoration of this holy card is one of our series of Christmas Holy cards. We've restored these beautiful old cards as a little way to help strengthen people's spiritual lives and make our Christmas celebrations holier.

These small framed holy cards are what we call the "adorable" size, and look good on desks, shelves, bedstands, etc. They make great, unique and memorable gifts to your devout friends, or lukewarm friends whom you can help warm up a bit. Our mission is to “Strengthen the Faithful and Evangelize through Beauty.” We hope these framed miniatures do just that for you and the people you know.

Materials:

Frames are metal or plastic, with either glass or plastic protective fronts. The more expensive ones are glass and metal, or sometimes resin; the less expensive are plastic or resin with clear plastic fronts. The plastic ones are NICE, though, just so you know. We're picky about this stuff.

Dimensions:

The holy card is 2.75 x 4.25" inches. Interior dimensions of the frame are supposedly 3.5x5.0. Exterior dimensions are on average 4.0 x 5.5" inches, but vary a little depending on which frame you choose.

Thanks for your interest in our Catholic art project.

Peace be with you,
