Lenten activity for the whole family! Expanded version of the original 40 Martyrs of Sebaste Lent Calendar. The powerful story of the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste will inspire your child to hold true to his/her Lenten penance. With each successful day, say a special prayer of thanksgiving with your child as your child draws a happy face and places a crown of martyrdom on the head of one of the martyrs. Encourage your child to make a special sacrifice for Our Lord, just as the soldier did in the story, to let everyone around your child know that your family is Catholic and that you are proud of it!
EXTRA FEATURES: Unlike the laminated Lent Calendars which were created for only one child to use, this version allows your entire family to participate in counting down the 40 days until Easter. Print out the pages, cut out the figures and watch your children grow in the faith each day of Lent. Track how faithful your children are to their Lenten penance, good deeds, prayers and any money earned for almsgiving each day. Come together each evening for the optional daily Scripture and Catechism references to spark discussions and learn more about the Catholic faith. This activity focuses on the Catholic Church's teachings about repentance which makes this an exceptional activity for those about to receive their First Confession and First Communion. Use this downloadable file year after year!
