* Click images to view enlargements.
1. "Vintage Diamond Low"
"Vintage Diamond" features beautiful art from an historic set of Tridentine Mass altar cards. Certain center card prayers are placed so that they won't be blocked by the chalice. Includes the first half of the "Supplices" prayer. The remainder can be easily read from the altar missal. The Lavabo card includes the "Corpus tuum" prayer. Current inventory does not include diacritical marks.
2. "Standard Red"
"Standard Red" is both attractive and practical. The center card text has been typeset in a large, easy-to-read font with the Placeat prayer conveniently located at the top for easy reference. This layout design has the "Credo" in the left column unlike "Maroon" and "Vintage Diamond." Current inventory does not include diacritical marks. Also see "Gray" Latin Requiem Mass altar cards, its companion set.
3. "Maroon"
"Maroon" features an image of the beautiful Renaissance art of Mantegna called "The Crucifixion." Its type size and font choice make these altar cards especially easy to read. Current inventory does not include diacritical marks.
4. "Cézanne Montagne Sainte Victoire"
This is our homage to Paul Cézanne, a famous Post-Impressionist French painter of the 19th Century who was also a devout Roman Catholic that loved his family and community of Aix-en-Provence, France. He regularly rode his bicycle through the countryside in search of subject matter to paint and often depicted one of his favorite subjects, Mount Sainte Victoire. If ever an artist deserved to have his passion showcased on a set of altar cards, Paul Cézanne is that artist in our opinion. This set has 12 point type on the center card and larger 14 point type on the side cards for easy readability. I placed the "Placeat" prayer top right on the center card for easy reference. The center card also includes the first part of the "Supplices" prayer. The rest can easily be read from the Altar Missal. Mantegna's famous "Crucifixion" painting is featured prominently on the center card and at the bottom is an image of Jesus as "Christ The Comforter." The Lavabo card includes the "Corpus tuum" prayer on the bottom. The font is a semi-Gothic choice that is especially easy to read with a color scheme that complements Cézanne's colors. Current inventory does not include diacritical marks.
