- Description
An at-home Tenebrae Service with your Family
In this download, we have provided a variation of the traditional Tenebrae that you can do at home!
Download includes the Scripture readings, prayers, and bonus votive candle wraps that can be used to pray a Tenebrae Service at home as a family.
Your kids can color and cut out each of the votive candle wraps for each candle so they have a visual for each meditation.
Then, Mom or Dad can lead the service by lighting each of the candles, reading the Scripture citations, and extinguishing each candle at the end of the Scripture reading.
Gradually, the candles are extinguished symbolizing Jesus’ Passion ending with His Death on the cross. The liturgy ends with only a single candle lit, which represents the hope in Christ’s resurrection, and a loud noise meant to symbolize the earthquake that occurred after Jesus died.
When there is only one candle left lit, the Tenebrae service should end with a loud sound, for example, knocking on a table or closing a book loudly. Spend a few minutes in silent reflection.
When does the Tenebrae liturgy take place?
During Holy Week, the morning prayers of the Divine Office were traditionally prayed leading up to Easter, which are Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday; this is referred to as Tenebrae.

from 6098 reviewsWe are absolutely loving this game. Learning proper names of things plus my kids are noticing those same things at Mass and pointing them out!
I love this colouring book and it has really nice pages to color as well as telling the story of Saint Carlos. It is inspiring, informative and was a great price! I gave out 7 copies this morning at Children's Liturgy and might purchase more! I can't wait to hear how the kids like them next week!
great idea
I love it because it’s not a traditional for a card. I love the seven steps to sainthood that any young person or adult can read easily.
The coloring book with its wonderful illustrations and bi-lingual texts is a prayer answered! I hope you make MORE like this!
I loved this so much I bought a bunch for my PD!
Very Impressive and high quality!!
Gave to Catholic youth ministries to help our young understand the basic beliefs in living a peaceful life
Very powerful prayer to Saint Carlo Acutis!
Love these so much! My only regret is that I didn’t buy more.
Love him. What about making an altar girl?
I will ne giving this as a gift to our grandson in November. He is a fan of the Fr. Leopold bricks and items.
My students each enjoyed coloring a page of this book. We have added their artwork to our classroom library.
They are very cute although I think they are quite expensive for the one Lego alter boy. I like them and I ordered 2 but they are pricey
Cards arrived before our trip to Rome.
Beautiful and informative cards. Thanks!
