Saint and Hymn
We watched a video about Saint Christina the Astonishing:

We also read the background information and listened to the famous Lutheran hymn A Mighty Fortress is Our God. (This actually led to a discussion on the German princes at the diet that created the Augsburg Confession)
Because of the video on Saint Christina the Astonishing, we ended up having a great discussion on the Catholic belief in Purgatory, why Lutherans do not believe in Purgatory, the Augsburg Confession....we talked about at the apocryphal texts, Sola Scriptura....why there are more books in the Catholic Bibles than the Protestant ones...I mean, it was a GREAT discussion.
Always have a laptop handy when you do Bible study with teens. They ask some deep questions that I don't know the answers to.
