– Wednesday October 7, 2020: SEARCHING FOR ST. PETER
St. Peter was the first pope. 2,000 years ago he was executed because Christianity was illegal and his body was secretly buried. A few hundred years later a church called St. Peter’s was built on top of the “secret” tomb, and then rebuilt again 1,000 years later. But no one ever checked to see if St. Peter was really down there until recently! Learn about a real Indiana Jones story of how the body of St. Peter was rediscovered not that long ago!
Session activity: Scavenger Hunt
– Wednesday October 14, 2020: GIANT SPARKLING JIGSAW PUZZLES IN RAVENNA
Take shiny little pieces of colored glass that are about the size of your teeth, stick them into wet plaster, and you have a mosaic. It took millions of little pieces of glass to produce some of the most beautiful mosaics in the world in an Italian city called Ravenna. Learn how they were made and what they mean!
Session activity: Create your own mosaic and Kahoot!
