~October 13th~
And the Message of Fatima...
Our family never seems to tire of this amazing event!
*I have a special devotion to this miracle as I have been blessed to see the Miracle of the Sun in Medjugorje! But that is another story... another post on my list for "someday"...*
~Yesterday, we decided to have a Miracle of the Sun Tea and Lunch in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary~
On October 13, 1917, in Fatima, Portugal, Our Lady appeared for her promised miracle.
The sun seemed to revolve about three times within ten minutes, and cast off great shafts of colored light which fell upon the sky and earth, hence the rainbow colors often associated with this miracle of the spinning sun.
Our Menu:
(Based on the rainbow colors of the spinning sun)
Rainbow Pasta Alfredo
Rainbow Fruit Salad
Rainbow
Miracle of the Sun Krispy Treats
We just followed the instructions for Rice Krispy Treats but used rainbow-colored Fruity Krisp Rice Cereal instead. After spreading them on to a large cookie sheet, we used a sun-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. Then used a squeezable white icing for the spinning, swirling, effect!
Princess had the idea to add yellow sparkles for the shining sun.
This one(below) didn't have sparkles.
But didn't have the chance to do that yesterday!
Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of Peace, may we always profit by your prayers, for you bring us life and salvation through Jesus Christ your Son. Hear our prayer and give us peace in our time that we may rejoice in God's mercy and praise Him without end. Amen
The fruit platter looks great! I can't wait to hear about your experience in Medjugorie!
ReplyDeleteHappy feast of the Miracle of the Sun!
As always this looks great! My kids would have loved the rice krispy treats too. Great job :)
ReplyDeleteWell, your pictures tell quiet the story. Looks like the enjoyed it all. You always do such a nice job.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! Everything looks so yummy, especially those rice crispy sun treats!
ReplyDeleteYour family is blessed.
such simple things -- like rainbow sherbet in sprite -- and you've got a wonderful miravcle of the sun symbol. I didn't realize the rice krispies could be bought in friut colors. I'll have to look for that. Just beautiful! and can't wait to hear about your pilgrimage to Medjugorje!

Enjoy!
Tiffany: Thanks for the St. Therese book recommendation. The bookstore at the St. Therese Shrine had so many wonderful books on St. Therese -- I had a hard time choosing. I picked up "Therese: the Saint who loved us." I'm devouring it. I will pick up the one you recommend. The display in our Art Room is from Catholicartworks.com. They have great faith formation materials.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading about your Medugorje pilgrimage. My pilgrimages have been so meaningful and I've received many graces from them. Oh that i could take more.
