Altar cards explain the part of the Mass being performed, containing certain prayers that the priest must say during the Mass, and their only purpose is as a memory aid, although they are usually very beautifully decorated.
Not used prior to the 16th century, Pope Pius V restored the Missal, only the card at the middle of the altar was used, and it was called the "Tabella Secretarum".
The use of altar cards had strict rules, including it may only stand on the altar during Mass. The center one (the one offered here) stands against the Tabernacle, or altar cross, and after Mass, must either be removed or placed face downwards under the altar cover. The cards must be removed for the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
