As we enter the month of May – the month dedicated to Mary – we invite you to prepare a May altar at home. This lovely tradition of honouring Our Lady in our homes during the month of May has been passed down through the generations.
You can create a space for your altar on a small table, on a windowsill or on a shelf in your home:
Central to the altar is a statue or image of Our Lady, placed on a small blue or white cloth.
May altars are traditionally adorned with flowers. Place a candle on your altar that you can light as you take some time each day during the month of May, for quiet prayer, to pray the rosary.
Please send photos of your May altars to your class teacher through Seesaw. We would love to see them! ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ’ðŸ™ðŸ»
