Slate Plate · Act of Contrition

The Prayer Etched in Stone

Natural slate, 25 × 25 cm, featuring the text of the "Act of Contrition" laser-etched. The laser does not print: it raises the surface of the stone, so the letters appear in a very light grey that is part of the slate itself. It will not fade, chip, or scratch like ink would.

The text is not our own translation: it is the official liturgical text in each language.

Two Formats

• Tabletop Plate (29.95 €) — tabletop piece: serves as a tray, a trivet, or simply to be displayed wherever you pray.
• Wall Plaque (32.95 €) — with two pre-drilled 5 mm holes, placed 20 mm from each top corner, for hanging with a cord.

Language

Available in 1 language: Spanish. The language and format are chosen separately.

Details

• Natural slate: each piece has its own veining and chipped edge, so no two are exactly identical to the photo.
• Calligraphic typography, with the name of the prayer at the top and its symbol at the bottom.
• Engraved upon receipt of order.
• Shipping throughout Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the engraving fade over time?
No. There is no ink: the laser raises the surface layer of the slate and the light grey you see is the stone itself.

Does the wall plaque come pre-drilled?
Yes, with the two 5 mm holes already made. The tabletop plate comes without holes.

Is each piece identical to the photograph?
The engraving is, exactly. The stone is not: it is natural, and its veining and edge vary from one piece to another.

Can food be placed on top of it?
The tabletop plate can serve as a tray or base. It should be washed by hand and not put in the dishwasher.
