Description

Features an engraving of “The Adoration of the Shepherds,” by Jacob Matham (Netherlands, 1571–1631), after a design by the Italian artist Taddeo Zuccaro.

The interior of the card includes a translation of the Latin text taken from the second chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke: “Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to us. And they came with haste: and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.”

Printed on fine cream-colored stock (matching envelopes), these cards call to the attention of the recipient the timeless beauty of the Traditional Liturgy during the season of Christmas.  Actual card size: 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″

These cards are reserved in appearance –a welcome contrast to the commercialism that secularizes so many modern-day observances of this hallowed feast.

Package of 10.
