Whitsun/Pentecost


As we celebrate the Feast of pentecost , reminded of the coming of Holy Ghost on apostles and on us through sacraments making us the children of God. In other words it is known as white sunday too, Whitsun.





A few things we did at home as part of some zoom activity for kids and family for JY.

The paper lanterns we made on the day when we were thinking about holy spirit as our counsellor, friend and comforter.





Everyone was very keen to do something and celtic trinity sign was another symbol for to look at it. Children drew with munnu's help, bit tricky and time consuming though it looks easy which is the symbol of trinity.
On second day, we were looking at fruits of Holy spirit and annu craved a swan from apple.


THeresu and Geo were out in the beautiful sunshine in their mini tents and doing the gifts of Holy spirit in paper plate.It came out well

One of the days , the learning was about Holy Ghost the third person in trinity. As part of it we did some doodling , asked kids to find scriptures about Holy spirit and made some art with it.

Birthday of the church and some pentecostcake toppers. Gift of the Holy spirit art and craft ideas in catholic inspired and here. I like the pentecost windsock ideas for children. So many  colourful and wonderful ideas for the day, reminding of gifts of Holy spirit, you can make twelve fruit salad or tongues of fire salad. You can make the day colourful with the above treats for Pentecost celebration.

Britons usually celebrate pentecost referrred as Whitsun means Whitesunday, when it is believed the day of baptisms , people wear white dress . In anglo saxon term wit means understanding and wisdom which is the gift of Holy Spirit. You can white treats after H mass like white donuts, vanilla steamers.

You can either decorate table with red table cloth or runners and lots of red hot theme dinners.

Trinity craft is really nice to make like a spinner.

Beautiful craft to assemble so learn the fruits of the Hspirit and we can all practise that virtue .

You can learn a few tips of other languages as when the spirit filed in disciples, they talked in different languages.
