Lucy Bradicich Basically it’s where you sit in a circle holding hands and everyone goes around to say a prayer by squeezing the hand of the person next to them. I never did it lol.

[@tylorianfan8873]

In my youth group, it was a little different. Essentially, we would all just sit in a circle with our eyes closed and if anyone wanted to say a prayer, they would spontaneously do so. Usually done for thanksgiving (literally giving thanks not just the holiday) or confession.

[@nicolewild8164]

@@Lucy-tc1cx I'm Catholic too! I don't think I ever did it exactly the same way other people have, but for me it was basically when we were saying a rosary or something and some one would ask if we had any intentions, or wanted to lead a decade. Usually no one wanted too 😂

[@firecrackerninja08]

When we had a super bowl party we played hide n seek in the church and we couldn't find this one kid for like 30 minutes. But.....we could HEAR his VOICE. Turns out he'd gone upstairs and was under a table and didn't want to reveal his hiding place 😂 😂 😂 Also sorry for the 2 year late reply 😂

And we have so many couches that we have names for them all and refer to them by said names so we know exactly what we are talking about.
