Our First Michaelmas

This year, we decided to go ahead and celebrate Michaelmas, not for any reason other than September is dull and we needed some fun.

First, we read up on the following webpages:

We heard we were supposed to make a goose, but our local grocery store didn't have any goose. So we bought and prepared a simple dinner of baked ham, green beans, dragon bread, crackers and cheese, and chocolate chip cookies.

Taryn put simple decorations on the table.


The food was laid out.

I read Revelations 12 regarding Michael and Lucifer. Then we talked about St. George of England and the symbolism of good over evil.

Then Caleb brought out one of his swords and slayed the dragon.

Then we ate.
