In Living the Seasons, Campbell offers imaginative ideas, effortless directions, and gorgeous photos of crafts, activities, meals, and snacks for a diverse variety of Catholic feast days, holy days, and seasons in the Church. She uses supplies that can easily be found at your local craft stores, party shops, or online retailers.
You’ll find ways to celebrate all of the Church seasons—Advent, Christmas, Lent, the Triduum, Easter, Ordinary Time—and Holy Days of Obligation in the United States, and feast days for saints from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. And you’ll discover fun ideas and new traditions such as:
- throwing a baby shower for Mary;
- blessing your home in the New Year;
- celebrating Fat Tuesday with King Cake and a piñata;
- living like St. Joseph by spending time in silence and making a wooden baby rattle;
- constructing your own gratitude journal and rosary;
- making art for God, including a salt-dough Trinity wall hanging, an Assumption cloud pillow, and an orange garland for St. Nicholas Day;
- creating edible flower lollipops to remind us of the “Garden of Mary’s womb”; and
- baking “Cookies of Joy” in honor of St. Hildegard of Bingen.
