7 Heavenly Virtues ATC Series US Round #1

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Seven Heavenly Virtues ATC Series US Swap #1

After completing the first series of the 7 Deadly Sins ATCs, it is now time to host the 7 Heavenly Virtues ATC Series.

The seven heavenly virtues is opposite of the seven deadly sins. They appeared in an epic poem entitled Psychomachia, or Battle/Contest of the Soul. Written by Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, a Christian governor who died around 410 A.D., it entails the battle between good virtues and evil vices. The enormous popularity of this work in the Middle Ages helped to spread the concept of holy virtue throughout Europe. The virtues are identified as chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. Practicing them is said to protect one against temptation from the seven deadly sins, each one having its counterpart. Due to this, they are sometimes referred to as the "contrary virtues.

Each month I will host a swap for the "7 Heavenly Virtues" ATCs.

You may use any type of materials to create your cards but they must be the standard ATC size 2.5/3.5 and have a sturdy backing. No sticker slapping please and if you use stickers keep them at a min. Add your SB name, swap name, and date on the back of the ATC. Mail your cards in a protective sleeve or envelope. So let see your creative take on the 7 Heavenly Virtues.

7 heavenly virtues swaps will be held in this order each month: The virtues are identified as:

1. Patience 
   

2. Temperance

3. Charity

4. Diligence

5. Chastity

6. kindness

7. humility

This month virtues is: Patience

Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Enduring the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity. Resolving conflicts and injustice peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. Accepting the grace to forgive;[4] to show mercy to sinners. Creating a sense of peaceful stability and community rather than suffering, hostility, and antagonism.

You will have one partner each month and you will send her/him: 1 Virtue ATC

Feel free to add any extras you may like but remember to check your partner profile before you do. You wouldn't want to send something your partner can't use or might make them ill. So check out the profiles first everyone.

Extras are not required for this swap it is all up to the sender if they do or don't.

Please rate 5 if you receive an ATC from your partner.

I will be checking profiles and will ban anyone that looks suspicious from this swap before partners are assigned. I am doing my best to keep this swap flake free and if you can't commit to this swap please don't sign up. No one enjoys being flaked on. If you flake during this swap you will be forever banned from any swaps I host in the future.

Please contact me and your partner if you are going to send late or if any other problems/questions arrive. Remember you can always pm me and we can try to find a solution. Yes, I angel all my swaps, but hopefully I won’t have too. I will angel a swap after you have rated your partner a 1.
