The Memorial of St Mary Magdalene has just been elevated to an official Feast Day!
A notorious sinner, St Mary repented and followed Jesus. She anointed His Feet with expensive oil, witnessed His Crucifixion and was the first to see Him after His Resurrection. She lived as a contemplative, receiving the Eucharist from angels.
With the canonization of the first Saint couple last October, July 12th is the first official Feast Day of St Louis and St Zélie!
We are reminded that part of our vocation in marriage is to help get our spouses to Heaven and St Louis and St Zélie lead the way in this, being the FIRST COUPLE to be CANONIZED TOGETHER!
I guess it made quite the impression on the kids when we explained that the baby would be in a box at our private little memorial service at the funeral home. Little Gabriel, pray for us. June 13, 2005 †
This is one of my favorite Feast Days of the whole Liturgical Calendar!
I’ve made a number of Holy Family/ Nativity sets over the years. This was a gift for Bill, the Christmas before we were married. The figures were loosely based on patterns I found in a magazine…and the clothing and the stable were architected improvised with limited sewing skills.
This is a busy week with serious Feasting for Catholics with a number of awesome Feast Days!
We launched this 2nd Week of Advent with the Feast of St Nicholas! I grew up with the tradition of a visiting St Nicholas AND the Krampus.
Last week, I released our new craft kit, the Adjustable Liturgical Calendar. It can be used year after year, and it comes with these awesome original-artwork Saint Stickies to customize the Liturgical Calendar.
Yup, we dropped the ball on All Souls’ Day this year… Good thing the door is open until November 8th for full plenary indulgences just for going to the cemetery and praying for the dead.
Actually the whole month of November is devoted to All Souls…so we can keep our special crafts and traditions honoring our deceased loved ones…all month long!
