The Feast of the Annunciation

She Said Yes!

The Feast of the Annunciation falls on a Lenten Sunday this year, so it will be officially celebrated on Monday, March 26.  We decided to end our week by preparing for the feast day, even though we are a few days early.

We revisited our Atrium infancy narrative box with the beautiful pieces for retelling the Annunciation story.  Then we sang one of our favorite little songs: She Said Yes

We also re-read the story from one our many Bibles.

(The munchkins love to read from different Bibles!)

Then we were on to the fun part.  Anything that includes glitter is fun, right?

The munchkins traced and cut their hands and one foot (yes, with the shoe off and everything!). 

All the pieces were assembles to create what could be considered an angel!

(Although, many of the munchkins decided it looked more like a turkey!)

We added a pretty glittered halo, though.  Then it looked more like Gabriel!  We also added a prayer to the back.  The munchkins began learning The Angelus after Christmas break and now THEY KNOW IT!  So, this was the perfect project to add it to...

As the munchkins finished, they had the chance to color the beautiful image of Gabriel and Mary from our atrium work folder.

And then my camera battery gave out!  I guess it was time to stop taking pictures...

How sad!

Until next time...

Giggles,
