Our Lady of Guadalupe

Build A Church

To end the second week of Advent, the munchkins learned the beautiful story of St. Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Our Friday was spent with this amazing story of faith, trust and miracles as the munchkins explored the colors and symbols of Mary in this beautiful vision so that they could create their own version of Juan Diego's tilma.

We began with the colors of Mary...traditional colors of the native Aztec people.

We added these lovely images to the tilma...



along with some paper roses.

Then we had the fun of adding tissue paper to add petals to those roses.

The finished products were so nice and a great reminder for the munchkins as they took them home to retell this story as we honor St. Juan Diego and approached the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for Us.

St. Juan Diego, Pray for Us.

Until next time...

Giggles,

Mrs. D.
