This is another gorgeous Antique Holy Card, shared by a sweet and generous reader named Kristie! I adore these lace edged cards, I have a number of these in my collection and they are so delicate and lovely! This one shows an amazing Engraving of the Madonna and Child standing on a Crescent shaped Moon. Beautiful!
Since my real name is Stella and on here I’m Star, I can only thank you for this beautiful card! I am named after Stella Maris, the star of the sea, the Madonna just as depicted in the card. Aren’t I lucky to have such a beautiful name?
This IS beautiful . . . I have a few of these, given to me many years ago by my grandmother–they had belonged to her mother. I have always treasured them!
Thank you so much for these beautiful antique holy cards of Mother and Child. I now have an inspiration to create something wonderful from them for my friends for Christmas! As a Catholic, these cards are especially fitting and perfect for the Christmas season.
