Fly a Kite with a Family Tail for Pentecost
We hear in the Scripture readings for Pentecost of the great wind that descended on the apostles. Wind is a powerful symbol of the Holy Spirit. Help your family appreciate the symbol by suggesting they make and fly a kite to celebrate the feast day. Make the tail of your kite to symbolize your family. Have each family member select some colored cloth or ribbon to tie on the tail that would represent them. Remind each other how we "soar in the power of the Spirit" as you watch your kite (and symbolic tail) fly.  Celebrate Pentecost (May 23, 2010).
