The Netherlands
In The Netherlands, mourning cards where first known in the 17th century. In general there were two different kind of cards: mourningcards (in Dutch "Bidprentje") mainly in remembrance of someone who passed away, and holy cards or devotional cards (in Dutch: devotie prentje) to remember someone's first communion, first mass, entrance into a convent, as a souvenir from a pilgrimage, or just with a prayer.
