Miracle of the Sun Liturgical Tea

*Celebrate Our Lady of Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun*

~October 13th~

I thought I'd share a post from our family archives about celebrating the final apparition at Fatima The Miracle of the Sun.

Our family never seems to tire of hearing about the Message of Fatima...and the amazing spinning sun!

 Miracle of the Sun Tea and Lunch

On October 13, 1917, in Fatima, Portugal, Our Lady appeared for her promised miracle.  The sun seemed to revolve about three times within ten minutes, and cast off great shafts of colored light which fell upon the sky and earth, hence the rainbow colors often associated with this miracle of the spinning sun.

Our Menu:

(Based on the rainbow colors of the spinning sun)

Rainbow Pasta Alfredo

Rainbow Fruit Salad

Rainbow punch Tea

Miracle of the Sun Krispy Treats

These Miracle of the Sun Krispy Treats were definitely the hit!  We just followed the instructions for Rice Krispy Treats on the cereal box but used rainbow-colored Fruity Krisp Rice Cereal instead.  After spreading them on to a large cookie sheet, we used a sun-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shapes.  

We used a squeezable white icing for the spinning, swirling, effect and yellow sparkles were the final effect for the shining sun.  This one (below) didn't have sparkles.  All agreed that sparkles were better!

~Our cookie cutter was large so we decided to share these 3 treats~

Last May, we made the fun Miracle of the Sun Fruit Platter...

But didn't have the chance to do it this time.

How can you resist Rainbow Sherbet Punch tea!

We just mixed Rainbow Sherbet and Sprite!

*Have a blessed celebration*

Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of Peace, may we always profit by your prayers, for you bring us life and salvation through Jesus Christ your Son.  Hear our prayer and give us peace in our time that we may rejoice in God's mercy and praise Him without end.  Amen
