This is our "French Provincial" set of Extraordinary Form Latin High Mass Altar Cards. French Provincial includes several pieces of art digitally copied from images of a beautiful hand painted set of Neo-Gothic Dominican Rite altar cards painted by two cloistered Dominican nuns in 1948. I rearranged and mixed in some of my own original artwork into a hybrid design. The crucifix is an image of the Renaissance work of Giotto di Bondonne.

This set features 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 Lavabo card includes the "Corpus tuum" prayer on the bottom. The font is a relaxed, casual choice to complement the beautiful graphic art. Please note that due to space restrictions, The "Aufer," "Oramus," and "Supplices" prayers are NOT included on this set's center card.

Our "Jasmine" design prominently features the poignant 16th Century work of Hans Holbein the Younger called "Christ on the Cross." The border art is the beautiful 19th Century work of William Morris found in many Victorian era homes. This is one of our easiest to read designs because the font is simple and the side card type is 16 points which makes them easy to read from a distance. It is also very practical because the "Placeat" and "Incensing Prayers" are in the right column so will not be blocked by the chalice when needed to be read. The center card also includes the "Haec" prayer and the first half of the "Supplices" prayer. The rest is to be read from the altar missal. "Jasmine's" Lavabo card includes the "Corpus tuum" prayer.

4. "Vintage Diamond High"

Pictured here, our "Vintage Diamond" for the Tridentine High Mass is the enhanced version of our popular "Vintage Diamond" set for the Low Mass. The center card contains all of the additional prayers necessary to celebrate High Mass. Note that certain prayers are strategically placed in the left and right columns so that they won't be blocked by the chalice when needed to be read. Rarely found on altar cards not designed by us, the Lavabo card includes the "Corpus tuum" prayer and the center card includes the first half of the "Supplices" prayer. The remainder can be easily read from the altar missal. The center card also includes the prayer beginning with the word, Haec. This is our most popular Latin High Mass set.
