Why subscribe?

Subscribing to the Saintly Folk newsletter is an easy way to support the work of Emanuel Burke, also known as Alypius Loft. He is a folk iconographer and illustrator concerned with the relevance of saintly folk in daily life.

Founding Members receive a small, hand painted icon of the Holy Face of Christ. It’s only $100 per year. Emanuel writes longer articles once or twice per month and will be able to increase the frequency with more subscriptions. If you like the art and the writing you find on Saintly Folk, you’re invited to become a Founding Member today.

I’ve really enjoyed connecting with folk via the Notes feature on the app. Get the Substack app to stay connected. You can read everything I write in the app, but you can also choose to read via email inbox.
