WINDOW FOCUS: "Journey of the Magi" by Sassetta depicts the caravan of travelers guided by a star. This symbol led people from their own countries to a foreign land. In their pursuit of truth, they surrendered comfort and security; they traveled in faith. The fifth grade child is led by the teacher to search for signs and symbols that will guide him/her on the path to TRUTH also. These signs vary from the simple Sign of the Cross to the deep mys- tery of the Eucharist. |
