All Saints day

Children got opportunity to dress up along with Marian voyage procession on Blackpool sea side on All Hallows eve.  Theresu dressed up as St Maria Goretti, Geo as St George, Annu as St Faustina and Mich as St Dominic savio.The day was All Halos Eve which day used to commemorate all saints gone before. .
                            .





     It was All saints day on November 1st and we commemorate with joy the saints, men and women, who have gone to heaven and are now enjoying with God for ever. There was another opportunity to celebrate the feast day. On  All Saints day, we were all gathered in Derby, many homeschoolers prepared to come to celebrate the day...children coloured banners ,attended Holy mass in their costumes..came home and did guessing the symbols, introduced their dressed up patron saints, some games on guessing symbols of the saints, guess  jars...and had mini feasting.

Annu dressed up as Margaret Clitheroe and rest of them dressed up as saints of the previous day.







                   St Mary Alacoque, Margaret Cltheroe ..




 There are many traditions for this day, making pumpkin pie, making soul cakes, going from house to house begging for soul cakes, in return for the prayers for loved ones who have departed. Another thing can be making a lantern out of a pumpkin, carve a Christian lantern. Another day for the family to have a walk..Children can out scenes or dress up from the lives of different saints.





 Tried to do some games with children , annu helped me and she prepared different symbols of saints to identify and everyone found out nicely.

               Cup cakes prepared by  Saum's children.



Geo is trying to colour his costume for St George's costume.


 All saints pray for us
