Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I realize that it is still the 4th in America, so I thought I'd share what we did yesterday in St Barbara's honour.

We built a chocolate tower, which represents the tower that she was locked up in (I realise her tower wasn't chocolate but hey we ARE going to eat this;) and the inside is filled with red lollies, they represent the blood of martyrdom. The children then closed their eyes and took a swing with the pinata stick to try and break the tower apart. This year my dh was the successful striker!! He hit it with such force it exploded rather dramatically.

If you're interested in building one I have a posted a photo To be honest I think I ate a little too much chocolate
