I had planned to set some time aside to honor St. Agnes, but when I woke up this morning and saw (on other more prepared blogger's posts) that today was in fact THE feast day, I was completely unprepared. We sort of did a scramble to put a few things together.
Mark colored this stunning page from Waltzing Matilda...
and made these yummy brownies.
James and Paul pulled together the holy card crafts. We listened about St. Agnes at saint of the day while we prepared dinner, and then later dad read more about her from our saint book.
Nico, my darling grandson, joined us for our celebration-- his contribution, besides being adorable, was pulling the entire table runner over after dinner!! Thank goodness the candle was not still lit! :)
This day is additionally special as my grandmother's middle name was Agnes- being from the big Irish Catholic family, I am sure she was named after this special saint. I am glad we were able to take at least a few minutes today to learn more about this saint and celebrate her short, faithful life.
