Our Lady of Mount Carmel Ideas

The Feast Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is on this coming Saturday.

As I am not planning anything spectacular and probably will do similar things to years past I am posting these links to Last year 2010 and 2009 Feast days celebrated in our home, as well as some plans I put together in 2009  as well as  some plans and ideas for 2010 and some lovely images of Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Within these links are craft ideas and recipes we have used for this feast day.

I am hoping that THIS year we will get to the Carmelite Monastery in Launceston, but as it is on a Saturday and our track record with feast days on a weekend, we will see.

I hope this will be of benefit to some of you ♥

Blessings to you and your homes

Our Lady of Lourdes 2011

Yesterday we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.
We did not follow our plans from last year but simply decided we would make a grotto like the one on Catholic Culture and have an all white meal too.
We used this as a guide to try to give us a variety from our usual fare....
Our menu consisted of :
Lemon Chicken
Fried sliced potato and onion
Steamed cauliflower
Sliced french bread

Autumn was not impressed by this meal as she dislikes white food meals as they aren't visually appealing. However the idea of the white meal is to represent Our Lady's purity.

Rogan made a white cake that he iced with white frosting for our sweets.

Of course we ate the grotto that our lady was in...very delicious

I painted Our Lady of Lourdes quickly. She really didn't turn out as well as my Alphabet Path
or Birthday Saints some of my others, I guess I was really into  much of a hurry.

I hope you all had a wonderful feast day.

Our Lady of Lourdes pray for Us!

Blessings to you and your homes,
