New! Holy Card – Wedding of Joseph and Mary by Wladyslaw Drapiewski – pack of 10/100/1000 – Wedding Invite Tuck-In

This lovely, colorful wedding holy card is a perfect tuck-in for invitations, or a place settings at a wedding dinner, or for other wedding gatherings.

It was painted by Wladyslaw Drapiewski (1876–1961), a wonderful Catholic painter who painted some of the best Catholic art of the 20th Century. Born in Poland, he studied art in Germany at the International School of Church Painting, which taught religious art in the style of the Nazarene movement, a 19th Century style which revived religious subjects in high European art. (We have several of his paintings in our collection and hope to have many more.)

We love the colors and gentle tone of this painting. Mary has one hand over Jesus, present within her, and the other hand uplifted to receive the ring Joseph is offering. Joseph has the lily of purity, which is almost like a staff.

We have had many, many requests for wedding cards for devout couples. This is the second one we offer.

We have a prayer on the back by St. Pope John Paul II, as well as a quote from an early Church Father, Tertullian, in a letter he wrote his wife about 202 AD praising the glories of a Christian marriage. We find them both pretty inspiriting for a sacramental marriage.
