Some of the pictures from St Micharl's feast
Here is the roundup of all ideas and resources traditions of this day. Some of the posts from archives ....2018,...2016...2015
BREAKFAST/TEA
As the tradition (and Joanna Bogle in her Book of Feasts and Seasons), St Michael dispelled satan to earth, he fell on to BlackBerry bush , he was cursed and spat on the bush . Blackberries are not good to eat after the feast usually get sour.
However it is an ideal day to have BlackBerry jam, blackberry cobbler, blackberry muffins, angel cake.
Kids preparing cupcakes
For the breakfast tea, it can be adapted with St Michael's Gauffer or waffles.
Traditionally goose was eaten in Britain, however chicken roast with carrots are done due to their availability.
DECORATIONS
The tables can decorated with traditional colours for the feast with orange or golden decors.
Children can gather some purple daisies (asters) as you see around this feast and place it in a vase with a prayer card attached it.
Make the archangel centrepiece with all children can make today with the crafts.
