Prayer cards are a very old tradition. They are mostly commemorative by their nature. One usually takes a card and places it where it continues to remind them of the deceased be it their loved ones, friends, relatives, or mere acquaintances. It is an extension of ancient tradition to remember and pray for the dead and can be considered closely related to grave stones/markers. Praying for the dead is a Spiritual Work of Mercy. They have evolved beyond the spiritual but remain commemorative by nature. Today they include favorite poems or prose, reflections of the life hereafter, and some even encourage the celebration of the life of the deceased rather than the mourning by survivors.
