All Adorable Saints Day

Today at Mass, Fr. let the kids dress up as saints.  They were SO adorable!!

One mom had three boys.  Her youngest was St. Patrick.  She made the costume from adult sized green t-shirt and used glitter glue to make a cross on the front and back so it looked like a vestment.  She made him a bishop's mitre out of cardboard with a gold cross on it.

The best part (if you are a 2.5 year old boy) was the green snake he got to carry.

Her other son had a Franciscan robe on.  When I first saw it, I assumed he was St. Francis.  DH asked me, "Why does he have a cell phone?!"

Then we noticed the keys...I'm thinking "St. Peter, maybe?"

Then DH realized...it wasn't a cell phone.  It was a TV remote, keys, a wallet and eye glasses attached to the robe.

He was St. Anthony, finding lost items!!!!

Ingenious!

Love it! Saint Anthony must be the hardest working Saint?

I absolutely love it. Especially St. Anthony -- that IS ingenious.

That's adoreable. My daughter was out of school Monday for All Saints Day and since it was a Monday it wasn't a holy day of obligation. My parish just had the usual 9 am mass in the chapel.

Our pastor had the kids dress up last Sunday at the 11:00 Mass.

Thanks for sharing this.

"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
