Paschal Candle Coloring & Info Page

At the beginning of the Easter Vigil Mass, the new Paschal candle is carved with a cross and the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, Alpha and Omega—the Beginning and the End. It is also labeled with the numbers for the current year. The Paschal Candle is lit during the whole Easter Season, and then at all baptisms and funerals throughout the year. 

You can use this coloring & info page to share more about the Paschal Candle with your kids, or read about it in All about Lent & Holy Week: Sharing the Seasons of Repentance & Salvation with Children. These coloring pages 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!
