St. Josaphat, an Eastern Rite bishop, was martyred as he was trying to bring part of the Orthodox Church into union with Rome. He was killed by an angry mob with a gun and ax. Josaphat\’s body was thrown into the river but emerged, surrounded by rays of light. Read more HERE. His feast day is November 12th (New) and November 14th (Traditional).
To make this ornament you will need:
- gray felt
- medium brown felt
- red felt
- black permanent sharpie marker
- scissors (these kind work well)
- glue (hot glue, felt glue, or tacky glue – like this or this)
- thread and needle for the looped hanger
This ornament is very simple once you cut out all the parts. We used a black marker to add detail to the ax head and gun. Then, we just glued them all down onto the red background. We cut out around the background to remove any extra. Then we added the threaded loop to hang it up.
That\’s it! 🙂
St. Josaphat, pray for us!
