Our Lady of Sorrows created a live nativity for its entry in Homewood’s Christmas parade.
During the parade, children tossed religious-type bracelets and small gold doubloons to the crowd as OLS School principal Mary Jane Dorn and students’ family members walked beside the float.
The children’s handmade costumes were sewn by volunteer parents and grandparents. The float included a solid cedar wood manger adorned with lights and a banner that read “Keeping Christ in Christmas.”
The float was donated and built by OLS Knights of Columbus Council 4304. Before the event, Monsignor Martin Muller, pastor of OLS Catholic Church, offered a prayer to the students and their family members.
