I’m always looking for ways to bring a bit of church into our home, to serve as reminders throughout the week of the things we see on Sundays. Here are a few of the more obvious parallels between our church and our home.

Alleluia Banners–This was the most intentional thing I did to bring a bit of church to our home. I tried to replicate the church “Alleluia Banner,” both in color and in font. I think I did a pretty good job, too!

Paschal Candle–A new activity for us this year, I really like the addition of a Paschal Candle to our home. It’s very similar to the church Paschal Candle in some ways, too.

White Paraments/Banner–This isn’t a direct parallel, but both are white banners with gold adornments, and both have a similar crown. It’s definitely the most subtle of my attempts, but the thought is still there!
