History
As pope, Saint Leo accomplished
many amazing things, which is why he is called “Leo the Great.” One thing he
did was make our beliefs about Jesus being God as well as man (“God Incarnate”)
absolutely clear. When Attila the Hun, who was trying to take over the whole
world by force, arrived in Rome, Pope Leo met him at the gates of the city and
convinced him to leave without stealing anything or hurting anybody.
Activity
The name “Leo” means “lion,” and Saint Leo the Great was
certainly a lot like a lion in the work he did for Jesus. Celebrate his faith
and courage by making a cake and decorating it to look like a lion. Here are
some easy instructions that start with a simple round cake, frosting, cookies
and candy.
