Pentecost Icon Style Holy Cards - pkg of 5

The feast of the Holy Pentecost begins the end of the Easter season. Mary, the Mother of God and the 12 Apostles receive the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is traditionally represented on the Pentecost by "tongues of fire" transforming those frightened into believers.

Cosmos, the old man at the bottom of the card holds a cloth of 10 scrolls. Symbolically, he represents the world.

There is so much symbolism in this stunning icon, that you might interpret it for a long while.

The pattern for this card has roots in Byzantine traditions - all the way back before 800 AD.

These lovely holy cards are a bit lighter weight than some others we offer, but the printing is absolutely outstanding. They are a convenient size for use as gifts or bookmarks because they are printed on heavy cream-colored paper.

The back is blank except for a faint colophon at the bottom, leaving plenty of room for custom imprinting with your own message, or a place to write a note to a friend, or to inscribe an appropriate prayer.
