Greeting Card: St Agnes & St Catherine of Siena
Price: $ 2.00
Left: St Agnes St Agnes was a young girl of 12 – 13 when she was executed for the crime of being Christian. Through resemblance of her name to “agnus” (lamb), her principal emblem has been a lamb. I am willing to talk about my spiritual beliefs when someone asks me about them.
Right: St Catherine of Siena St Catherine changed Catholic history by convincing the papacy to return to Rome after nearly 75 years in Avignon, and is one of the few women given the title of “Doctor of the Church.” Catherine is shown wearing her Dominican habit and a crown of thorns, and she is holding a lily (a symbol of purity) and a book of her teachings. I realise that in order to discover my full potential, I must help others discover theirs.

Right: The Adoration of the Magi From early times the Adoration of the Magi (or wise men) has been one of the most popular subjects of representation in art.

Matthew 2: 11

Revelations 12: 7 – 9

Take care that you do not despise these one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven. Matthew 18: 10
