Honoring our Dads
with the
Feast of St. Joseph
The Feast of St. Joseph was Saturday, but since we weren't at school to celebrate it properly, we decided to do it today! Creating a St. Joseph altar is a neat tradition to honor the Father of the Church, so the munchkins each created one on the top of a tiny box.
Our altars had a sweet little prayer for Dad on the front and a little love letter inside.
The munchkins had a great time learning all about the tradition behind the altar, exploring what some of the items on the altar might mean (like the roses, the bread & wine and the candles). We have some very insightful munchkins!
The pieces were a challenge to color because they were so small, but everyone stuck with it...
Probably the most fun, though, was getting all the little pieces to stand up on their own!
Everyone was very excited to have something special to take home to Dad.
Viva San Giuseppe!
Until next time...
Giggles,
Mrs. D.
