This 3rd Class Cloth Relic Holy Card is 2 1/4 by 3 1/2 in size and is plastic coated and is made in Italy. Relics of Christian Saints fall into four categories: the First Class Relic is the body or a portion of the body of a Saint; example: bone, flesh, or hair. These are considered so precious that they are rarely entrused to individuals, but are placed in Faith Communities. the Second Class Relic is an item or piece of an item used by the Saint while in the body; example: clothing, Bible, Breviary, Mass vestments, and so on. Again, second class Relics are considered so precious that they are rarely entrused to individuals, but are placed in Faith Communities. the Third Class Relic is something that has been touched to the body (or to a portion of the body) of a Saint. The Fourth Class Relic, somewhat less known, is something that has been touched to a Second Class Relic of a Saint. Generally, the Fourth Class Relic is a piece of cloth, but it need not be, as long as the item so touched conveys holiness and is touched with the intent that it be a fourth class Relic. Again, fourth class Relics may be given to individuals, and may be sold.

This card will touch your heart
This Saint Jude prayer card, with its laminated image, is not only durable but also beautiful, making it ideal for gifting to loved ones. A friend to whom I lent it was so fascinated by it that he doesn't want to return it. It's a gift that truly touches hearts and strengthens faith.
