Let's make Some Paper Snowflakes!
But first, read about the Snowflake Man, Wilson Bentley. From the earliest memories of our childhood, many of us can remember hearing the phrase "no two snowflakes are alike". This discovery was made in the small rural town of Jericho, Vermont by Wilson A. Bentley (1865-1931).
His snowflake images are gorgeous!
In The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation
(a liturgical craft books for young children) I read that snowflakes were once called "St. Agnes flowers."
Today, January 21, is St Agnes' Feast Day!
