prayer cards

Pocket holy reminders

Prayer cards are small devotional cards, typically wallet-sized, bearing a religious image on one side and a prayer, scripture, or memorial text on the other.

In Catholic tradition, they're distributed at funerals to commemorate the deceased, often with the person's name and dates alongside a saint's image.

They're also used as personal devotional aids: She kept a prayer card of St. Anthony in her purse.
