During our school wide family mass on Friday September 14 we celebrated the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. In class the 7th grade discussed the meaning of Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross and what it means for us in our daily lives. We are also studying the Eastern Roman Empire. Emperor Justinian had elaborate mosaics created throughout his empire and Constantinople. The students then designed a cross using a mosaic pattern. Each cross was unique and beautiful.
