Padre Pio Holy Card - St. Pio vintage Prayer Card

A vintage relic holy card of St. Padre Pio cradling the figure of the Christ Child — the saint of Pietrelcina at his most tender, in a moment few holy cards show.

• Size: 4 1/4 x 3 inches (7.5 cm)
• Material: Vintage original folded paper holy card from a Catholic convent
• Relic: Ex-indumentis relic (a small piece of a vestment) with postulator seal; recently touched to the shrine of Saint Pio
• Shipping: Ships from Rome, Italy

The photograph preserves the warmth the friar reserved for the Bambino at Christmastime, a reminder that the great confessor's spirituality was, at its heart, childlike trust. That makes this card a distinctive Advent or Christmas gift for a Padre Pio devotee — or for anyone learning to pray simply again.
