Post Stories for the Season
I was wondering with what kind of stories you could bring the festival of All Saints Day (All Hallow) closer to the little ones?
I am already planning to tell the story of St. Nicholas a few days before the 6th of December so I am looking for anther Saint that I can tell ds about who has a special connection with children.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

I don't know of any specific All Saints stories, but the connection to children part made me think of St. Christopher.

Thank you Henitsirk! This story is very inspiring and I am sure ds would love to hear it, this is what I was looking for, after all St. Christopher is a Saint.

I found this story for Thanksgiving for the somewhat older children in our families, although I am thinking of shortening this story for our ds, I am sure he would enjoy it in a little shorter version.
