The pawns in the game of the Holy Quest are not your average pawns. In fact, because each pawn is represented by a different saint and has its own personality, we do not like to refer to them as pawns. So from now on we will refer to our pawns as saint pawns. The design for each saint pawn came from our stained glass images of all the saints we have done for our prayer cards available at the Traditio Designs store. The images used for the saint pawns are based on real photos of stained glass windows from churches around the world. Our digital photographer and designer and also the president of Traditio Designs, Matt Lorens has been using his artwork to create the most beautiful and stunning sacramentals for several years. Now he brings these beautiful images to a new and unique board game so families across the world can enjoy the beauty of Catholic art spanning many centuries.
As you scroll down this page you can meet the saints of the four religious orders represented in this game.
