Holy Thursday Wood Clacker - ZE2745

The Holy Thursday Wood Clacker, also called a clapper or crotalus, is a 9-inch wooden liturgical instrument made in the USA and used in place of bells during the Sacred Triduum. By tradition, it is sounded instead of altar bells from the Gloria at the Holy Thursday Mass until the Gloria at the Holy Saturday Mass, in honor of the Passion of Christ. It is intended for parishes observing the Triduum liturgies and for individuals who wish to keep the tradition in personal devotion.

Use & care: Used in place of altar bells from the Gloria of the Holy Thursday Mass until the Gloria of the Holy Saturday Mass. Store it in a dry place away from moisture and wipe it with a dry cloth.
