O Antiphons Advent Display Cards and Ornaments Packet for Kids and Families
O Antiphons are a sacred, yet simple, reflection as we wait for the Nativity of Our Lord. O Antiphons run from December 17 – 23. This packet includes directions, prayers, display cards (which are half-page sized – two display cards print on each page), and ornaments (two ornaments print on each page).
Note: If you use the ornaments pages and want the ornaments to be smaller, you can print those pages at a smaller percentage to get smaller ornaments.
How to Use the O Antiphons / Contents of the O Antiphons Advent Display Cards and Ornaments Packet
The O Antiphons are centuries old and based on Isaiah’s Old Testament prophesies about the coming Messiah.
They are also an easy yet meaningful way to reflect on and focus on our longing for Jesus as we wait for the Nativity of Our Lord (Christmas).
On each day/night from December 17 – 23, you can:
1. If desired, you can begin by praying one Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
2. Sing that day’s verse and the refrain from “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” (included in this packet). This is a wonderful time to light your Advent candle as well. If you are uncomfortable with singing, you can read the verse and refrain from “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.”
3. Read the card for the day, including the verse from Isaiah (included in this packet). You can also use these cards to decorate in your home or classroom.
Note: This printable set includes each card in black and white for children or adults to color as well as a color version. Each version also includes a version with the symbols in English and in Latin.
4. Pray the Magnificat as a family or class. (Included in this packet)
O Antiphons Printable Ornaments
The graphics from the cards are also formatted as ornaments that you can cut out and add to your tree.
There are options in color and black and white as well as in English and Latin.
