When my kids were very small, we had monthly themes on our bulletin board, for our homeschool lessons, and to order our daily lives.
As the kids get older, the themes aren’t quite so vivid. I enjoy the liturgical calendar, the natural cycles of the world, and celebrating the flow and small events in our lives.
We loved these themed Calendar Connections.
February offers fun themes to celebrate love and more.
We love reading about Catholic saints and Celtic saints and sometimes do spiritual activities. And we also talk about how white saviors and missionaries weren’t the best for indigenous peoples.
Here’s a neat list of what’s on sale each month.
Fun February calendar theme days!
Candlemas
This day is the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ and the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
St. Brigid
Saint Brigid is one of Ireland’s patron saints, along with Patrick and Columba. Irish hagiography makes her an early Irish Christian nun, abbess, and foundress of several monasteries of nuns, including that of Kildare in Ireland, which was famous and revered.
