It highlights the central role of the Eucharist.

The second card, numbered 474, features the text: 'Il est pour chaque Enfant un jour béni de Dieu, c'est celui où pour la première fois, il lui est donné d'approcher de la table des anges. (Mgr de la Bouillerie.)' This translates as: 'It is for every Child a day blessed by God, it is the one where for the first time, he is given to approach the table of angels. (Mgr de la Bouillerie.)' These beautiful pieces are perfect for collectors of religious ephemera or as unique additions to creative projects.
