Slate Plate · Glory Be

The Prayer Etched in Stone

Natural slate measuring 25 × 25 cm with the text of the "Glory Be" laser-etched. The laser does not print: it raises the surface of the stone, leaving the letters in a very light grey that is part of the slate. It will not rub off, fade, or scratch the way ink would.

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

Two Formats

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

Languages

Available in 8 languages: Español, Català, Deutsch, English, Français, Italiano, Português, and Latin. Language and format are chosen separately.

• Natural slate: each piece has its own grain and split edge, so no two are identical to the photo.

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 two 5 mm holes drilled. 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 grain and edge vary from piece to piece.

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