Read Carefully

THESE DETENTES ARE NOT 3RD CLASS RELICS WHEN YOU PURCHASE THEM. IT'S UP TO YOU TO TOUCH THEM TO THE RELIC TO MAKE THEM INTO 3RD CLASS RELICS.
Are you going on pilgrimage to visit a saint? Is a saint coming to visit your parish? You can touch your detente to the saint, thus creating your detente into a 3rd class relic. The backs of these detentes clearly state that it has been made into a 3rd class relic and that it is not meant to be sold. We started making these DIY blank 3rd Class Relic Detentes per requests and as a safe and respectful way to make sure your detente is treated with the respect and care it should. Don't see the saint you're looking for? no problem. We make them in house. Send a message. We will get started on your custom order right away. Hand stitched in prayer.

    In the mid 1800's Letaille Printing House, a Parisian lace holy card printer released a series of holy cards (Divine Pilot) that were the inspiration of many of the faithful. (Even our dear Saint Therese of Lisieux)

    ​

    This series was so respected for it's teaching that even The Protestant Sunday School Association of New York released a book that featured only 10 of the holy cards from the series. It has been unknown for awhile as to how many are actually in this series.

     

    After nearly a decade of research and careful communication with other collectors and antique art dealers from all over the world, our family is believed to be the only source at this time who owns the collection of 13 in it's entirety. (Though we are always looking for another.) We are pleased to present to the faithful for the first time in history, the entire collection of the Divine Pilot holy card series in this magazine issue of Immagini Sacre.

     

    These are the very same images that were the spiritual formation of Saint Therese of Lisieux.

     

    Discover the hidden contemplative holy cards of the mid 1800's and the message they carried.

     

    Thank you for your support in this project as we purchase, photograph, document, & reproduce the contemplative holy images of the past.

     

    Please remember us in prayer, as we remember you.

     

    May God grace you with holy perseverance to the port of salvation.
