Morning "Feasting" with St. Mark!

This was a fun and easy way to bring the feast of St. Mark into our morning!

Evangelist Mark is represented as a lion because he begins his Gospel in the wilderness, `The voice of one crying in the desert: Make ready the way of the Lord,' or because he presents the Lord as the unconquered King."

I made 4 Lion Fruit Plates.  

Each one took about 2 cutie oranges.  Then, I used a total of about 2 kiwi, 1 apple, and 1 banana.  
I also shared this idea over at Catholic Cuisine.

+Happy Feast Day+

"Jesus said to them, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15

Saint Mark, a cousin of Barnabas, accompanied Saint Paul on his first missionary journey and later went with him to Rome. He was a disciple of Saint Peter whose teaching was the basis for Mark's Gospel.  Mark is said to be the founder of the church of Alexandria.

"ROAR"-ing The Way Of The Lord!

The Evangelist Mark is often represented as a lion because he begins his Gospel in the wilderness, "The voice of one crying in the desert: Make ready the way of the Lord."  He also presents the Lord as the unconquered King.  (Catholic Culture)

In honor of St. Mark we made a lion pizza to "roar" the way of the Lord!
We just used a take and bake cheese pizza as the base!
Add sausage to make the face and then add more shredded cheddar cheese to fill in for the mane.
Pepperoni, olives, and mushroom garnished this guy's face:)
