So you may know that Sunday was Pentacost Sunday and ended our Easter Season. In Liturgical churches, Easter is celebrated for 50 days- it really is the biggest feast of the year. We celebrated this year with this sticker calendar and added a sticker every day until Pentacost.
Today we had a Pentacost co-op with other homeschoolers whose oldest child is in Kindergarten. We read a story about what happened at Pentacost and how God shares His Holy Spirit with us too!
We made tongues of fire to wear-
And they colored a sheet with the disciples and the fire, a sheet with the fruits of the Spirit and did a word search.
Then we let the kids play and have a lunch on the porch...
They day ended with our Pentacost Cake. 12 small candles for the Apostles, 1 big candle to represent Christ, seven strawberries on top for the 7 gifts of the Spirit and 12 strawberries on bottom for the 12 fruits of the Spirit. As we lit the 12 candles we tried to name the 12 Apostles. Then, we all sang Happy Birthday to the Church.
Afterwards we tried memorizing the first lines of the Holy Spirit prayer. It was a wonderful day.
