Padre Pio Holy Card - St. Pio vintage Prayer Card

A rare beatification-era holy card of Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, printed with the title Beato and carrying an ex-indumentis relic - a small piece of a vestment - under the postulator's seal of authenticity.

• Size: 4 1/4 x 3 inches (7.5 cm)
• Material: Paper; vintage original from a Catholic convent
• Relic: Ex-indumentis relic with postulator seal
• Devotion: Recently touched to the shrine of Saint Pio
• Inside: Prayer to Padre Pio and chaplet to the Sacred Heart, in Italian
• Shipping: Ships from Rome, Italy

Stamped Beato - Blessed - this card dates from the short window between Padre Pio's 1999 beatification and his 2002 canonization, before printings switched to San Pio. That transition title makes it one of the more sought-after cards among collectors of the saint's memorabilia.
