prayer card
Pocket religious keepsake
A prayer card is a small printed card bearing a religious image on one side and a prayer or devotional text on the other.
Catholics commonly distribute them at funerals, where they feature the deceased's name and dates alongside a saint's image or prayer.
They serve as portable devotional aids and memorial keepsakes: She kept her grandmother's prayer card in her wallet for years.
