- Engage the senses: Supposedly, St. Helen found the True Cross underneath a field of basil (or in Greek, βασιλεύς, also meaning "king"). Ask your grown-up if they have basil at home. Smell the basil. Taste it. Basil is especially tasty with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Try it--you may like it!
- Enlighten the mind: The word "elevation" sounds like another word you know (elevator!). What are some other words that sound similar? Can you guess what those words mean?
- Nurture the Spirit: Look at an icon of the Elevation of the Cross (you can find one with lots of additional information here. Can you tell who the figures are in the icon? How does it help you to tell the story?
Have a wonderful weekend, if we don't see you at Sonia's Run!
