- 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 5936 reviewsI love the beautiful crucifix on the case I bought. It makes a great statement in everyday usage. I've gotten lots of compliments already.
Can i buy some more?
Beautiful and a life saver.
The images are beautiful and capture the events perfectly. The scripture verse references are useful for the bigger kids to look deeper. I have long been perplexed why anyone could be resistant to the True Presence, knowing that throughout the Gospels, what Jesus says, happens. This book brings that to life clearly.
A wonderful coloring book for my grandchildren!
Loved it!
It was a delightfully story
Beautiful coloring book, very high quality
Bought three coloring books for my grandchildren. Beautiful story. Large size pictures to color. Will help the children develop their Catholic faith.
I love Blessed Carlo Acutis. This will be a great gift for my godson.
It is a good fit for my phone. The edges will keep the screen from breaking. I like that a priest will be called in case of emergency. I love the picture of Our Lady Of Guadalupe.
I thought they were really nice! And having thestory in each page in both languages it’s great too. I handed them to my Church as we have bothEnglish and Spanish members and a Spanish Mass! Thank you.
Great book. Nice way to introduce young readers to this new Saint.
Got them for our parish Spanish teacher...the secretaries think they're awesome and are sure the teacher will love them.
Love it. Now anyone seeing this case, when I’m in need, will have full knowledge. The case tells all viewing my devotion.
