seasonal decorations

Speaking of things decorating your home, some of those things are seasonal (Christmas lights still up?), and one of the things about changing as we get ready for Lent are those old palm fronds behind the crosses in your house. Time to get them to church so they can be burned to make the ashes for Ash Wednesday!

It's also not a bad idea to get some purple cloth. I didn't know this until recently, but apparently old Catholic tradition has it that the crosses and icons in your home, not just in the church, ought to be covered during Lent.

I wonder if I can find a used purple sheet at Savers?

peace of Christ to you,
Jessica
