Our Lady, Star of the Sea (Stella Maris) laminated Catholic Holy prayer cards.

Description: Stella MarisOur Lady Star of the SeaIntroduced: St. Jerome in 5th centuryFeast Day: September 27 Stella Maris or Star of the Sea is a title for Mary that dates back to the 4th and 5th century to St. Jerome. He translated the name of Mary from Hebrew and other sources to mean Star of the Sea. The devotion to Our Lady, Star of the Sea really took hold in the medieval period and was written about in the 5th, 8th and 9th centuries. In the 12th century St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote "If the winds of temptation arise; if you are driven upon the rocks of tribulation look to the star, call on Mary. If you are tossed upon the waves of pride, of ambition, of envy, of rivalry, look to the star, call on Mary. Should anger, or avarice, or fleshly desire violently assail the frail vessel of your soul, look at the star, call upon Mary." These beautiful Holy Prayer Cards are based on photos of a statue of Mary, Star of the Sea. They have been digitally designed and handcrafted in the United States. The statue of Mary has been redesigned to offer a unique look in presenting Her beauty. Pictured here Mary is standing on the ocean waves with a guiding star behind Her. She is the guiding star which leads us to Christ. These cards have been designed to honor the Mother of Jesus and to glorify God through veneration of Her. Statue Art:The statue art holy card shows the digitally mastered statue of Our Lady in a realistic setting. It is completely based on digital photography of the statue or several statues combined with photos of real backgrounds and other artifacts and elements. Whenever possible we try to use backgrounds related to apparitions or places related to Mary under this title. The uniqueness of these cards sets them apart from any other holy cards depicting similar subject matter. Icon Style:One of our more recent additions of holy cards of Mary, show Her in an orthodox iconic style of the eastern Church. While we used the photos of our statues of Mary, here we present her with a completely different treatment in a style used by iconographers. While these are not true icons, the imagery is similar and we are the only ones depicting Mary under so many titles in the iconic style. Be sure to browse through our store to see almost every image of Mary in this style Relic Card:Our 3rd Class Relic cards of Mary are very special. The relic fabric in the card has been touched to several authentic 2nd class relics of the Blessed Virgin Mary including:Veil of BVM, House of Nazareth, Table from the House of Nazareth, Crypt of the Milk of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Locations of Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Tomb of Mary in Jerusalem and Place of Dormition (where She fell asleep). Lace Card:This is our new line of holy cards unlike anything you have seen before. We combine the lace card craftsmanship so popular in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century with the beauty of our statue and orthodox art. These cards of Mary are adorned with a delicate rose pattern lace. The result is something no one has tried before. These cards are more expensive but the price reflects that each card is hand crafted from beginning to end. Every card ships in a special protective sleeve which allows you to use the cards daily without damaging the lace. These cards are not laminated and measure approximately 4 x 6 inches. They are also coated with UV protection. Card with altar stand:You can order any laminated card with a stand. If you do, there is no need to purchase the card separately. Be sure to let us know which card you wish to receive with the stand by adding a note to your order. If you do not indicate which card you want we will contact you before we can ship your order. Each stand is designed to hold up to 7 laminated cards so you can alternate them. If you place just one card in the stand, we recommend you insert a thick coin like a quarter behind the card to make it stand more upright. The price of card with a stand already includes most of the shipping charges. You can also purchase our mini stands separately from our Sets and Specials section in our store. This stand can hold up to 7 cards so that you can alternate them. The backs of our holy cards offer some information on the feast day apparition dates when available as well as some great prayers related to Mary under her title.
