The Top 24 Religious Christmas Card Quotes and Bible Verses for 2021

To say that this year has been tough would probably be an understatement. With the pandemic still ravaging across the world, affecting jobs and people’s lives, it can sometimes be hard for us to imagine what it will be like when the holiday season comes.
But despite all the circumstances, this year should still be a time for celebration, happiness and holiday cheer. Christmas cards are a well-established British tradition for a reason: everyone loves opening up a greeting from friends and family and knowing that they’re loved and cared for.
Of course, the true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Whether you’re a Christian yourself or simply have religious family members and friends, it’s comforting to think of God’s love for us during the festive season, and be reminded of His sacrifice. Here are 24 of the best religious quotes and bible verses to include in your Christmas card this year.
