Dominican Rite Requiem Altar Cards Just Released

Hello again everyone. This is our newly designed set of Roman Catholic Dominican Rite Latin Requiem Mass Altar Cards, "Ornament." Ornament has a great layout, large, easy to read type, and accurate Latin texts with diacritical marks. It includes the Gregorian Chant notation for the Requiescant. See it in detail on our regular business website, Myriad Creative Concepts.

Besides being practical, Ornament is also beautiful. Its elaborate border art and scrollwork are from a set of antique Requiem altar cards. The shield emblems are Dominican Order-specific. And, the highlight is an image of Fra Angelico's beautiful painting, "Crucifixion with Thieves, Virgin, St John the Baptist, St Dominic, and St Thomas Aquinas."

Like all of our altar cards, these are available as prints to be framed, framed, or heavily laminated. They measure 12 inches high. The center card is 18 inches wide while the two side cards each measure eight inches wide. Framed sets are framed in-house with ornate wood frames in two choices. Next, we insert lightweight acrylic glass, the prints, and archival foamcore. To finish things off, we attach a beautiful black moire fabric-covered back for a formal presentation on the altar.

Dominican Rite Latin Low Mass Altar Cards Just Released

Hello everyone. We have really been busy designing Mass cards lately. One of our brand new releases is this beautiful set of Roman Catholic Dominican Rite Latin Low Mass Altar Cards. "Predella" is arguably the finest set of altar cards available right now for the Dominican Low Mass - short of contracting an artist to make them by hand.

Most of the beautiful art of this set was painted in the middle ages by Fra Angelico, a Dominican priest/painter who was, as you can see, a genius. The wide center card picture was painted on the predella, or altar step, of the San Domenico altarpiece. The two side cards have pictures of paintings of St Michael the Archangel, St Peter the Martyr, and more.

"Predella" is also very practical. Its layout is orderly and easy to follow with large, easy to read print. The Latin prayers are accurate and include diacritical marks to assure their proper pronunciation as they are recited.

Like our other sets of altar cards, "Predella" for the Dominican Low Mass is available as a set of prints to be framed, framed, or heavily laminated. They measure 12 inches high. The center card is 18 inches wide while the two side cards are eight inches wide.

Dominican Rite Latin High Mass Altar Cards Just Released

Hello everyone. This evening, I would like to announce the recent release of a beautiful set of altar cards for the Roman Catholic Dominican Rite High Mass. "Pereira" has all of the bells and whistles that a priest would want in High Mass altar cards: large print, accurate prayers, diacritical marks, and chant notation.

"Pereira," as you can see by the picture, has three cards: the center card, the Last Gospel card, and the Lavabo card. All measure 12 inches high. The center card is 18 inches wide and the two side cards are 8 inches wide. Available as prints to be framed, framed, or laminated.

A veteran Dominican priest helped us design these. He tirelessly proofed our work as we went along to make sure that each word was spelled correctly and that the diacritical marks were all in the correct places.

The border graphics and scrollwork are taken from an antique set of altar cards. We then topped it off  with Dominican Order-specific crosses and shields.

After this design project was finished, we were so pleased that we kept right on going and whipped up sets of Dominican Low and Requiem Mass altar cards too. I will write about them in upcoming posts.

For more information or to place an order for your set of "Pereira" Dominican Latin High Mass Altar Cards, see them in detail on our regular business website, Myriad Creative Concepts.

Carmelite Rite Celebrant's Card Just Released

 Hello everyone. Today, I would like to take a moment to let everyone know that a Celebrant's Card is now available for the Roman Catholic Carmelite Rite Latin Mass. If you need one, please visit us online at our regular business website, Myriad Creative Concepts.

Last week, we put the finishing touches on a nice 12 x 18 inch Altar Card for the Carmelite Rite Latin High Mass. While we were at it, my customer and I went ahead and designed this companion Celebrant's Card  too. We used the same basic art so that they would complement one another.

This Mass card is two-sided letter-size with the "Prayers At The Foot Of The Altar" on the front and the "Marian Antiphon" on the reverse. Its type is large and easy to read with diacritical marks to assure proper pronunciation as the prayers are being recited.
