Among the 12 Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church are some which are feasts of Mary: The Nativity of the Theotokos (Sep. 8), the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple (Nov. 21), The Annunciation (Mar. 25), Dormition of the Theotokos (Aug. 16). At church these are always big deals. But how do you bring these feasts home and help little boys enjoy them? God has provided color as a way.
Liturgically, at least in the OCA, the color for these feasts is blue. One thing my wife does, and I think it's pretty neat, is make blue popcorn balls for the boys on these days. All you have to to is add a little blue food coloring to your recipe and voila! you have Festal Popcorn Balls guaranteed to please the youngest members of the family and help them enjoy the feast.
