Currier Ive's "Pilgrims to Lourdes" Holy Card ? Healing Prayer ? pack of 10/100/1000 4.25x2.75" Holy Card. Card stock. Matt finish. Good quality. Currier Ive's were so good at what they did that their lithographs helped define the culture of the 19th Century. Even today, their cozy Victorian Christmas scenes are still popular and iconic, depicing happy people of that era ice-skating or getting Christmas trees, or doing other typical things, the men wearing stove-pipe-hats and the women puffy, bustly dresses. This beautiful scene of Pilgrams at the Grotto in Lourdes takes us back, but also signals the normalacy of Faith in those times. This lithograph was done not many years after the actual appearance of Mary, the Mother of God, to the poor shepherd girl Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. People were getting healed there. People are still getting healed there today. The Grotto as a destination shrine has not lessened but grown in the years since. The water spigots are much more numerous now, stretching for a long way next to the shrine. Mary still obtains many favors from her son Jesus for the faithful. This is also available as an art print in our shop. We price our holy cards inexpensively so they can be used to spread the faith.
