No room at the Castle
We made our little pilgrimage to the Castle with Mary and Joseph on Sunday. One unexpected aspect: we got our pictures taken by a lot of tourists….Samuel figured out how to kind of wear the puppet and put his hand into Joseph’s sleeve, so Joseph walked along very tall, waving at people…I really wish I hadn’t lost the charger to my camera.
Spiritual impact? Not sure yet. Fun together, talking about Mary and Joseph (and their baby) outwith the church building. Spiritual impact for the adults definitely. The woman who met us at the entrance to the Castle and had the task of telling us that there was “no room,” found it really difficult! Especially when one of the children pointed out, “But it’s HUGE! There must be room in there!” We all stayed in role and walked sadly away from the castle, and back to church. Next week we’ll try somewhere else…
