Child Mary

La Purisima does this beautiful event each November to commemorate when Mary's parents took her to the temple to be raised whne she was a small child.  The Pre-School and Kindergarden children follow a statue of Mary as a child and make an offering to her.  It's adorable, and all the kids get dressed up.  Katie was so sweet in her party dress, she kept turning and waving at me.

Here she is with her class and the statue

And by herself


Waving at me during the ceremony
