St. Patrick's Miter Craft

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, I wanted to spend some time with my girls learning more about the beloved Catholic saint, Patrick. I wanted them to understand that the holiday isn't really about leprechauns and pots of gold. I'm excited to read them The Secret of the Shamrock when they are a little older so they can learn more about St. Patrick. In the meantime, we read some facts from our Encyclopedia of Peg Saints about St. Patrick. We talked about how he was a bishop and that bishops wear a special hat called a miter. A lot of times when we see St. Patrick in pictures, artists have him wearing green and with a miter on his head. I explained that we would make a "stained glass version" of his miter to hang up for St. Patrick's Day.
