The medieval tradition on the eve of All Saints day is to hold a battle between teams of 'good' and 'evil'. We look forward to the recreation of this tradition at St. Augustine's each year. As you can see from Aunt Kari's great pictures, some of the big boys consider themselves too old for costumes but never too old to wield a sword!
The good side always wins of course!
St. Michael (sans wings)
St. Juan Diego
Monica, Abby and Victoria
our headmaster as lord of the evil forces, gathering his minions
the battle begins
Kevin is fierce with a sword
Regina as St. Joan
Blaise as the Prophet Elisha, he is carrying a stuffed bear in his belt to symbolize the story of a bear that chased away a mean crowd who was teasing the prophet for being bald. Alex is the well dressed warrior.
What fun this was!! That is a great pic of Monica, Abby, and Victoria. I'm so glad they have become fast friends.
