First made by monks in the 600s, pretzels were given as rewards to children for memorizing their prayers. The shape of the pretzel is similar to a common prayer posture of crossing your arms over your chest, and the three spaces in a pretzel remind us of the Holy Trinity. Pretzels are made with only flour, salt, and water, so they are appropriate for Lenten fasting regulations and are a common Lenten food.
These resources were made in cooperation with Shari Van Vranken of Catholic Paper Goods using artwork from our new book!
You can find it at The St. Paul Center here or on Amazon here, or we'd love for you to ask for it at your local Catholic book store. It's also available as an ebook in both places if that's more your style!
