What's a Crotalus? How about an Aspergillum? Learn about these unique liturgical tools!


Have you heard of a crotalus? How about an aspergillum? Two liturgical tools that are a little lesser known, these items are used during the liturgy of Holy Week. You can introduce your kids to these unique Catholic items with this coloring and info page. Then you can keep a lookout for them at your own parish on Holy Thursday and the Easter Vigil!

You can read more about the crotalus, aspergillum, and other Lent traditions 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! 


And you can find all of the free resources linked in this post:
