I don't remember ever coming across these prayer cards for sale in Rome along the Via di Porta Angelica. Does anyone think the framing of this picture was unintentional? The regal golden border of the seal forming a perfect halo around the One's head, as he gazes contemplatively, his stoic face reflecting a soft glow...and he even has a constellation of stars to boot. I'll admit, it's a striking image but it plays right into certain widespread perceptions about the man that are religiously held by his disciples.
