This past Saturday we celebrated the Feast of the Assumption. Here are a few pictures from a little bit of our day…

who ascended to heaven like the rising sun at dawn.”

Pretty crafts!! We made something for the Assumption/Queenship of Mary this week and I actually remembered to put a smock on my child for once… but I couldn't find my camera!
I love seeing the beautiful pictures from Fenestrae Fidei – they are gorgeous! I noticed that the illustration shows Mary being assumed from what appears to be an empty tomb, which got me thinking, did Mary actually die before her Assumption? I just spent a very long time reading up on it on Catholic Culture and then discussing it with my hubby, LOL! Interesting topic, and one that appears to be unclear. And all from the picture on your blog!
I love the beautiful star crafts. They are just lovely!
Your kidos are so artistic!
I just love to see how nurture their spirituality and talents!!!
Beautiful celebration. I don't know how you do it ALL!?!?! Praise be to GOD!
It isn't clearly defined whether Our Lady "died" before she ascended into heaven.
However, because she never had originial sin (which one of its effects is death) we can assume that she (and this is what the church teaches) was "done" with her life on earth and joined her Son in heaven.
The supper! That looks so so yummy! Great job celebrating!
What a fun day at your house. 🙂 Lovely crafts, happy children, full bellies all midst a giant celebratory feasting day in Our Lady's honor. Your meal looks just delicious by the way! Yum! Sweet and precious memories will always linger on for your lovely bunch. Good job!
