The Parish of St Sophia and Three Daughters in Surry Hills, Sydney was filled with festive cheer on Sunday, December 1, as the Sunday School children gathered for a Christmas Cookie Decorating session.
They were joined by parish priest, the Very Reverend Archimandrite Father Irenaeus and proud parents.
The air buzzed with excitement as little hands carefully shaped, iced and adorned cookies with colourful fondant and sprinkles, each creation a unique masterpiece of Christmas magic.
Giggles and concentration blended harmoniously as the children embraced the joy of the season, but the highlight for many was tasting their sugary works of art.
Adding a beautiful touch of giving to the occasion, many of the cookies were shared with patrons of the Parish’s weekly feeding program, ‘Feed the People.’
Through this simple yet heartfelt act, the children not only celebrated the spirit of Christmas but also learned the value of generosity and kindness.
It was a truly memorable afternoon, blending creativity, community, and the warmth of the holiday season in the heart of Surry Hills.
