Celebrating Our Lady's Feast in Nigeria

The Children's Rosary in Lagos, Nigeria spent weeks in preparation for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  They practiced songs, dance and drama in addition to their daily meeting for the Children's Rosary which they do every day at 6PM their local time. 

Dance

Yesterday the group leader sent along pictures from their celebration.  The drama was about children and the Rosary.  One of scenarios was about a girl who was sick and when the children brought a priest and prayed she felt better.  Simple messages the children understand and live everyday in their lives.  Prayer is woven into their joys and sorrows and so such plays are very natural to them.  It is beautiful to see such excitement among the children to both gather to pray and then to express their love for their Heavenly Mother through song, dance and even a birthday cake at the end of the evening.
