Lesson Plans for Consecrations
Lesson: Holy Relics
When the church is consecrated, holy relics are placed in the altar. From the first days of Christianity, we have honored our martyrs by placing their relics in the altars where the Body and Blood of our Lord is consecrated.
Lesson: The Service Itself
The Service of the Consecration is a treasury of symbolic actions and beautiful prayers — but it’s a lot to take in, so it’s good to prepare the children (and adults) of your parish with well-considered lessons discussing the meaning of the service.
