St Martin of Tours

I found this great book at a homeschool second hand store. They had put it in the clearance bin and I couldn't believe my luck. It has a lot of simple ideas from stories to crafts to snacks to help us celebrate our traditions.




For today, they have a mini book telling the legend of how St Martin of Tours was converted. He was a Roman soldier that became a "soldier for Christ."

Catholic Cuisine has a lot of great ideas for celebrating customs like goodie bags for the children and a special bread.

Catholic Missionary Family has a lot of great ideas for all the major November saints and feast days.

We might try our hand at paper lanterns. I like this tutorial.

Today is also Veteran's Day. The book above also has a prayer for all those who have served as well as a star garland craft to write names of those in our family who have served in the military.

Thanks to all who have sacrificed for the cause of freedom!

St. Martin of Tours, pray for us!
