Holben Design was founded by husband and wife, Ben and Holly Torrens, to design gifts that inspire thought and prayer. The tremendous success of the newly released Prayer Angel has allowed us to expand our line to include additional great selling functional gifts. Our gifts are artfully created to inspire, encourage, and comfort people in everyday life.

The idea for the Prayer Angel began with my parents, who save the greeting cards they receive throughout the year. They pick one card per day and pray for the sender throughout the day. We loved the idea and adopted the tradition ourselves. Unfortunately, we did not have a place to easily display the cards, and they were constantly tipping over.

At the time, Ben was creating metal figurines out of nails and washers to give as gifts to family and friends. He created one for me of a person kneeling with hands together in prayer with a space to hold cards. We began placing a card in the hands of the figurine each day. This gave us the opportunity to focus on one friend or family member each day and allowed us to enjoy those heart-felt cards a second time. Ben made a second figurine for my parents, and soon after we were getting requests for more from others who saw the figurine and loved the idea of keeping family and friends in their thoughts and prayers. That is when we created the simple and elegant white porcelain angel, which adapts to whatever or whomever it is embracing.

We soon realized that more than a saved greeting card could be placed in the Prayer Angel’s embrace. Now the Prayer Angel serves as a constant inspirational and visual reminder for prayer by holding photos, memorial cards, inspirational cards, and many other items.

We truly hope our Prayer Angel can be a source of inspiration in your daily life.
