These are just a small number of them; but, I hope you will understand why I enjoyed collecting them. I want to tell you something [USER=21309]@midas1[/USER]. It is sort of strange. And I want to thank you for something, too. Last week I pulled out my prayer card collection and looked carefully for a St. Helena card because I was working on a poem about her. I have many prayer cards and figured I should have a Helena card; but, it has been years - maybe twenty - since I have even touched them so I couldn’t remember. I looked at all the cards and I did not see one for her. I put them away in their place. It was only because you mentioned on this thread that you would like to see my cards that I went back to the prayer card collection to take a few photographs to show you. When I took them out of the envelope and selected a few to shoot — BLAM!!— there she was! St. Helena, carrying this big heavy wooden cross just as I expected her to be doing when I looked for her last week! She is the card below. She looks a bit bent and weathered, but at least I have her and I am very pleased! So thank you [USER=21309]@midas1[/USER] for asking to see the cards. On the reverse of this card she is called St. Elena as she sometimes is and there is a special prayer. [ATTACH=full]690646[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
