This beautiful old hard card was origainlly published by published by Louis Turgis of Paris, one of the great holy card publishers of the 19th Century. It is a richly colored and respectful card.
The prayer on th back is ancient, perhaps a thousand years old or more. It is a good prayer for funerals, or said anytime for the dead.
RIP means Rest in Peace, but originally it was in Latin, Requiescat In Pace, which means the same. The phrase was used on Christian graves at least as early as the 700s AD when Latin was the universal language of the Church. This was just after the English language got started.
As with this and all of our images, you may have a custom holy card made with a personalized back printed for you. If we both work qucikly, we can get them to you in about two weeks, sometimes less. See this listing for details: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1019181226/custom-holy-cards
