Just let us know in "special instructions" The upward-pointing late Roman Hand of Power talisman continues in popularity today in the form of the Roman Catholic Powerful Hand (Mano Poderosa in Spanish) which is sold on holy cards and applied to votive candles. The meaning of the hand is the same as in ancient times -- magical protection and benediction -- but in the modern Catholic version, the fingers are all stretched upright, as is the thumb, and various saints and angels are standing on and around the digits. The palm, with its stigmata, faces toward the viewer. The figures that stand at the top of the four fingers represent St. Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and her parents, St. Joachim and St. Anne. The Christ Child is depicted on the thumb.
