As we are in the third Sunday of advent- Gaudete Sunday. 'I exult for joy in the Lord', for even if the life is miserable at times. Today on 13th of December, we honour St Lucy, means light, one of the beautiful feast during advent. Prepared some braided rolls and cinnamol rolls for the breakfast by Annu. St Lucy's story was read and it is reminded of how much we should also be light to others in reflecting the true light of Christ. Just planning to go and visit lights today as we were doing in previous years.
Braided roll which made out of ready made soft pastry. Often the privilege of older girls to bring tea and little boys can be star boys. St Lucy day is extremely popular in Sweden....
Along with that baked some cinnamon rolls for the breakfast.
Three strips are cut and braided , added chocolate drops to give a flavour and iced on top. Served hot and yummy. It was great day with so many blessings from above. Reebs n Tijo visited my parents which was a Godsend experience to us during lockdown. There were a few opportunities to share His love in our lives with young children and young couples.
On 12th of Dec, we celebrated the feast of Our Lady of Guadulupe- Some of the things did together. There was children's hour as part of advent. Some of the resources borrowed from catholic inspired and sadlier religion. Just went through the beautiful meaning of the Tilma, sun rays behind her, ribbon around her waist, standing on moon, angel is holding her on her shoulder indicating aztec culture of carrying king or queen on shoulder.
