Popular Medieval Christmas Cards

Are you dreaming of a very traditional Christmas? Bring on the wassail, goose-featured banquet, and Latin Christmas carols with a medieval Christmas card from Zazzle! Times may have been simpler in the thousand years from 500-1500 AD that encompass the medieval era, but Christmas certainly wasn’t! The celebrations stemmed from the original winter festivals celebrated throughout Europe before the introduction of Christianity. Traditional festival staples like singing seasonal songs, participating in large village feasts, and decorating houses with evergreen boughs translated into carols, banquets, and the beginnings of today’s Christmas decorations.
While the celebration style stayed the same, the reason for the season shifted to celebrate the birth of Jesus. This change sparked a new art wave, triggering the beautifully colourful and expressively dramatic medieval paintings we admire today. These beautiful pieces are the focus of many striking cards you can find here. Search through designs depicting medieval patterns, tapestry scenes, and scripted text. Expand your search to include vintage Christmas cards as well. Personalise the whole card and include your own special greeting and message inside the card to send to your friends and family.
