“Our Holy Home” Partners with Sacred Artists to Celebrate Christ-Centered Beauty in New Card Collection
Original artwork in uniquely Catholic greeting card line highlights true meaning of Christmas
Catholic consumers weary of sifting through Christmas card messages and designs that focus more on commerce than faith now have a new option. Catholic Concepts, the creators of the popular Sock Religious line of socks inspired by Catholic saints and figures, has collaborated with sacred fine artists to bring the holiness of Advent to life in a new line of Christmas greeting cards, available through their sister brand Our Holy Home. Beautiful and inspiring religious imagery, including angels, the Star of Bethlehem, and the Nativity, is the focal point in original postcard designs from Catholic artists Elizabeth Zelasko, Jill Elizabeth, and Jana Zuniga.
“It was always a struggle for our family to pick our annual Christmas card, because it was important for us to choose a holiday greeting that witnessed to Our Lord’s Incarnation and reflected the joy of His birth,” said Scott and Elisabeth Williams, the husband and wife team behind Catholic Concepts. “Sending Christmas cards is a meaningful tradition for us, and it felt like it shouldn’t be so hard to share the Gospel this way.”
The Williamses, together with Product Team Lead Madison Cipoletti, sought to create a simpler solution for others facing the same challenge. They collaborated closely with each artist to develop a cohesive concept that showcases their original sacred artwork. Featured designs include Jana Zuniga’s Stump of Jesse, Jill Elizabeth’s Peace of Christ, and Elizabeth Zelasko’s Mother and Child. Each design is presented on a unique postcard with a fully customizable back, allowing patrons to add personal photos and messages of faith.
“Every opportunity to share the beauty of our faith with those we love is a grace not to be missed. Sending a Catholic Christmas card may seem simple, yet it becomes a small act of evangelization–a way to place something sacred in the hands of another,” said Zelasko. “I am deeply grateful to partner with Our Holy Home for this very reason.”
As a fine artist and iconographer, Zelasko has been commissioned to create sacred artwork for numerous well-known Catholic institutions, publishers, Churches, and private collectors. “The image in this card collection is one I drew after Bouguereau’s beloved painting– a quiet moment between the Blessed Mother and the Christ Child that speaks volumes of the mystery of Christmas. Anyone who has ever held a sleeping baby knows it is among life’s purest joys. In this tender scene, we are invited to rest with Mary beside her Son, dwell in peace, and remember the true meaning of Christmas: the Word made flesh.”
Our Holy Home is a curated collection of Catholic home goods, decor, and Christmas greeting cards designed to build up and beautify the domestic Church. Launched as a division of Catholic Concepts in 2022, their focus on beautiful products goes deeper than aesthetics. “Beauty has the power to draw people in, captivate hearts, and lead them to the truth,” said Cipoletti. “Our cards are meant to reflect the true spirit of Christmas, and we hope they will provide a simple way for families to share their faith, bringing joy and inspiration to all who receive them.”
The “Artist Collaboration line” of Catholic Christmas cards from Our Holy Home is now available, alongside other fully customizable collections, including “Scripture” and “Hymn.”
