Pentecost Kite-Flying Activity

The Church celebrates Pentecost on May 11, 2008.  One of the symbols of the Holy Spirit is wind.  With your family, check out the Internet links below for directions on how to make a kite.  When you have made your kite, read Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4.  Then go outside and have fun flying your kite!
