We began by reading a little about the feast day. Then, we prayed one decade of the Rosary together. My first grader led us. Then, we played Marian bingo! I got the idea here, but I made my own cards using this Web site and some religious stickers I just got here.

Afterward, we frosted mini white (purity) cupcakes with blue frosting for Our Lady. My four year old and I baked them that morning while the two older girls were at school. Then, we had blueberry smoothies in *tea* cups, of course, to round out our teatime fare.

I think our Liturgical Tea was a big hit. It was a fun time together, and it also was a special way to truly live out the liturgical year in our daily life at home. I plan on hosting one of these teas per month to honor a special day in our Catholic Church’s liturgical year.
