Though in winter the earth seems barren, we know that new life is being nurtured in secret. Hope springs eternal! Sending the National Shrine’s new winter Votive Light card to a family member or friend is a wonderful way to show that your love for them is like God’s — “ever green.”  

When you request a Votive Light to burn and make an offering for another’s intention, you can present our newest greeting card to your special recipient. The gift of prayer symbolized in the glowing Votive Light Sanctuary here at the National Shrine will surely be an appreciated gesture this holiday season and in the new year!
