Presenting: Alphabet Little Saints


These are our Alphabet Little Saints. From left to right they are Mary Our Queen (Q), St. Peter (P) and St. Agnes (A). Mary is crowned with flowers and her hands are folded in prayer. (Please note that I am not an artist. This is merely the attempt of a Catholic mother trying to pass on a little bit of knowledge and faith at the same time. My children LOVE these and that is all that matters.) Notice St. Peter has the keys to the kingdom emblem on the front of him because Jesus gave Peter the keys to His kingdom in heaven. On the back of St. Peter is an upside down cross signifying the way he was martyred. He is wearing a mitre and holding his shepherd's staff. Poor St. Agnes has nothing to distinguish who she is because I don't have a lamb to set beside her. This doesn't matter much because my children have vivid imaginations! Can't you hear it? (baa, baa)
