Last Day of Christmas!

Merry Christmas for the last time! Today is the 12th day of Christmas. Today is called the Epiphany of our Lord. It is the day that the 3 Wise Men arrive to meet Jesus.



Wow Cloë it seems like Christmas Day was so long ago.

I guess it was Tallulah, 12 days ago to be exact. We actually celebrated the Epiphany this past Sunday but today is the official day.

So who were these guys again?!


They were three men who were from the East. They were probably men who studied the stars since it was the bright star that made them travel to Bethlehem.


They were also God's way of telling us that Jesus came for everyone all over the world and not just the people of Israel.



Look at the colouring page I found to help celebrate this day. Click here to download this as well as other colouring pages.

 
 
And finally here is a video to recap the whole story!
 


Today is also a special day for another reason. Today is the feast day of Saint Brother André! He is the Canadian brother who dreamed up the idea of building a giant church on Mount Royal in Montreal.


Cloë, we have talked about that church before haven't we - it's St. Joseph's Oratory.


That's right Tallulah. If you have not visited, it's worth the drive! Here is a short video that tells his story.




Well that's it - Woof!

Cloë and Tallulah
