Lent and Easter

Our selection of religious items for Lent and the Easter season

Each liturgical season calls for specific items for prayer and devotion. Lent and Easter invite us to a more inward-looking practice, centred on the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ.

Our selection has been designed to accompany the faithful at every stage of this spiritual journey, whether for daily prayer, personal meditation or family life of faith.

Rosaries to accompany Lent and Holy Week

Lent is a special time to deepen one’s daily prayer. The Rosary holds a special place in this process, helping us to meditate on the life of Christ, his Passion and his sacrifice out of love.

Used during Lent and Holy Week, the rosary becomes a true spiritual companion. It enables us to unite with the Virgin Mary in contemplating the Sorrowful Mysteries and to enter more deeply into the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice.

Our selection of Catholic rosaries includes simple wooden designs, in keeping with the spirit of penance, as well as more elaborately crafted rosaries, intended for regular meditative prayer.

Books to prepare for Lent and Easter

Spiritual reading is an integral part of the traditional practices of Lent. Choosing a suitable book helps one to better understand the Scriptures, to shed light on one’s journey of conversion, and to experience this liturgical season with depth.

Our selection of books for Lent and Easter is aimed at everyone: daily meditations, commentaries on the Word of God, spiritual retreats or guides for Holy Week.

These works support personal and family prayer, helping readers to meditate on key moments such as the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and Christ’s call to mercy.

Crucifixes and wall crosses – The central symbol of Easter

At the heart of the Paschal Mystery lies the Cross, the place of Christ’s total self-giving and the sign of his victory over death. Contemplating a crucifix during Lent prepares the heart for the joy of the Resurrection.

Our wall crosses and crucifixes are designed as aids to prayer, to be carried with you or displayed in your home. They remind us of Christ’s infinite love and invite us to live out our faith in daily life.

The crucifix of the Risen Christ expresses in a special way the passage from death to Life, marking the transition from the season of penance to the joy of Easter.

Statues of the Risen Christ

Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Christ, the heart of the Christian faith. A statue of the Risen Christ is a visible testimony to this hope and this victory over death.

Our selection also includes depictions of Merciful Jesus, whose feast day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. This devotion, stemming from the revelations to Saint Faustina, extends the Easter message by reminding us of the divine mercy offered to all.

Devotional images and the Last Supper – Easter gift ideas

Easter is a time for sharing and passing on the faith, particularly within families. Giving a religious item on this occasion allows you to offer a meaningful gift.

Religious images make a simple and much-appreciated gift for children and young communicants. A depiction of the Last Supper, meanwhile, serves as a means of family prayer, inviting reflection on the Eucharist, the source and summit of Christian life.
