Saint-O-Lantern Link Up!

A common activity for families, in preparation for All Hallows' Eve, is carving Pumpkins. We have found this to be yet another wonderful opportunity to tie in our Catholic Faith. Each year our children look forward to choosing a pumpkin and carving their "Saint-O-Lantern!"

In addition to all the pictures which can be found in the archives, here are some links to templates found online to help get you started:

Pumpkin Glow offers a number of free templates including:

• Noah's Ark (Level 1- Easy) 
• White Dove (Level 1 - Easy) 
• Let the Children Come Unto Me (Level 2 - Intermediate) 
• Gethsemane (Level 2 - Intermediate) 
• Nativity (Level 3 - Advanced) 
• The Last Supper (Level 3 - Advanced) 

Another great source is Squidoo's Christian Pumpkin Carving Page.

Also free, from American Life League, is the Pro-Life Pumpkin Template.   American Life League is also hosting a Pro-Life Pumpkin Contest this year!

My daughter and I enjoyed carving the Pro-Life Pumpkin last year! 

For a small fee you can purchase a number of "Have Faith" templates from the Pumpkin Lady.  Last year we carved the One Nation Under God and Mother and Child.

I also love the templates for the Savior, The Ark and The Lion & The Lamb.

This year I am thinking about trying The Yellow Rose in honor of St. Therese and my boys are considering carving this Knight in honor of St. George.

Other ideas for celebrating the feast of All Saints can be found over at Shower of Roses and in this All Saints Link Up, as well as in the archives under the labels for All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

If you carve a Saint-O-Lantern this year, we'd love to see it!
