Saints_Aplenty: Designs and Collections is an online store powered by Zazzle that showcases the religious art of a bygone era on tasteful, modern Christian gifts featuring saints for you, your family, and friends for use in your church, school, home, and office. During the late 19th-early 20th century, color printing replaced hand coloring in the production of sacred images. The new techniques of chromolithography and chromoxylography--printing from multiple limestone slabs and wood blocks respectively--were used to mass produce vivid devotional prints (or, in everyday language, holy cards) and lavish illustrations for books chronicling the lives of the saints. All images on our products are derived from such antique or vintage items in the designer's private collection of religious ephemera or from public domain resources.
On Zazzle, our products are arranged in collections by Saint. Each collection numbers between 15 and 150 products. See the picture galleries below for "Our Latest Collections" and "Saints of the Month" for sample items. Note Well: Not all saints are available on all products! (Regular visitors will notice some changes. We're in the the process of reorganizing and expanding the website. We will be keeping "Our Latest Collections" showcase on this the home page. But, we are phasing out the presence of monthly showcases here. Instead, monthly showcases for the entire year are now to be found on two dedicated pages: "Saints of the Month (January-June)" and "Saints of the Month (July-December)". The showcase of the current month still auto scrolls. The showcases for other months can be navigated by using the thumbnails beneath. Happy browsing!)
CELEBRATING A NEW SAINT!
It's official! Today, 15 May 2022, César de Bus (1544-1607). was canonized by Pope Francis. Saint César was a 16th-century French priest, founder, and noted Catechist. Visit our store on Zazzle TODAY to view the entire de Bus COLLECTION!
Grilling season is now underway! Gift your favorite Grill Master with one of our tongue-in-cheek "Grilling with St. Lawrence" products. St. Lawrence is patron saint of cooks and--wait for it--comedians. He famously said to his executioners who were roasting him on a gridiron: "Turn me over. I’m done on this side!” We like to think he would approve! Also available as "Cooking with..." items.

May is the traditional Month for First Communions. Visit our special Pinterest board for items from Saints_Aplenty celebrating this milestone event! We offer gifts featuring Blessed Imelda Lambertini and Saint Tarcisius of Rome, patron saints of First Communicants, as well as gifts featuring Jesus Instituting the Sacrament and Holding Up the Bread and Wine, its outward signs. Happy browsing!
