The way our family celebrates the relentless love of Jesus and His sacrifice

Our family is big on creating traditions...in this season of the year, we really strive to create opportunities to think of Jesus and the sacrifice that He made for us...this works for us, and if it gives you an idea of what you might want to do with your family, that is excellent. We do it all here...Ash Wednesday, Lent, Passover, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter. I am putting this here, not because I think it is the end-all, but for my children if they choose to do it when they are grown...hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for stopping by.

Day 2 The Birth of John the Baptist



Luke 1:1-23, 57-80


This is the story of the birth of John the Baptist, who is the one who calls people to repentance before Jesus begins his earthly ministry. More to come on him on Day 4.




The ornament is a baby, because this is the story of his birth.




None of the people in these ornaments will have faces...




  • Usually predominately black will be darkness or evil


  • Red will mean pain or sickness


  • Yellow behind the head will be Jesus because He is the light of the world




The only colors of foamboad that I bought were red, black, white, blue, green and yellow. It gives some continuity when they are all showing. This is not necessary, however.
