In this paper, we report the results from the `Human-God Interfaces' project, which aimed to redesign traditional Catholic rituals, based on the principles of Tangible Interaction. Seven prototypes are presented. We discuss our learnings from the design process, highlighting how all prototypes follow the same recipe of incorporating a Catholic belief into a well-known everyday object and adding an `unknowable' element.
