All Saints’ Day is one of those feastdays that we spend much time preparing for — costume making, studying the saints, memorizing saint bios, practicing presentations, and the sheer joy of anticipating the festivities.
I’m now down to having only 4 children who dress up, soon it will be 3. So, I relish in seeing this feastday through the eyes of my children and reminiscing on all our fond memories.
Pictured in this video is the year that the three littles opted to be patron saints of police officers – 2020. They wanted the costumes at Costco so badly and I didn’t want to spend double the money.
So, they were…
St. Ambrose with the added homemade pipe cleaner bees on his cap along with a bottle of honey. He was called the Honey Tongued Doctor as he converted many and he is also a patron of bee keepers. 🐝
St. Sebastian with arrows in hand and one piercing his body. He was shot with arrows and left to die but survived and went on to preach until he was beaten to death. 🎯
St. Michael with wings made from glitter foam and additional battle gear because he’s a boy and requests to be St. Michael every year! ⚔️
I hope to share more looks into our past All Saints’ Day costumes & festivities. #jffallsaintsday
