Everyone in Branden's class received the Virgin Mary necklaces/pendants today! They got them as the school's gift for the Japanese celebration of the 3-5-7 holiday. It's cute the way they blend or merge both cultures or beliefs like this. The Japanese tradition of 3-5-7 and also the Catholic faith side of giving a pendant like the Virgin Mary. Since I'm Catholic and my entire family are like major, hard core type Catholics, ha ha ha seriously though. And we are raising both Branden and Noah, Catholic as well. Yet we also want them raised with Japanese traditions as well. So for us, the gift was perfect! Really cute! : )
PS, they also got a few of the Fujiya 3-5-7 candies as well : )
