Taking your regular 4th of July decorations and crafts and making them Christian can be as simple as using some very well known phrases! You can also add in crosses or other religious symbols into your celebrating. Today, let’s check out some ideas for making Christian 4th of July crafts.
Some of the phrases you can use in your Christian 4th of July crafts include:
- “In God We Trust”
- “One Nation Under God”
- “God Bless America”
- “God Shed His Grace On Thee”
- “Glory Glory Hallelujah”
Another way to work Christian concepts into 4th of July crafts is by using patriotic-themed bible verses.
You may want to make these fun patriotic Christian necklaces. So cute and fun for kids to put together, and they have a great message, allowing you to witness as well as celebrate!

Also, here’s a link from 4 Real Forums that has a list of all the saints associated with each US state. Really neat! And if you’re interested, here a website dedicated to American saints 🙂
The patron saint of the United States of America is Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, and the patroness of the Americas is Our Lady of Guadalupe, so you may be able to work them in as well.
Thanks for this post, Lacy. Through one of the links about American saints, I found a new book title I'd like to look into, Heroes of the Cross: American Martyrology, from 1945. Lately, I've been fascinated by the martyrs of early American history, the French and Spanish missionaries in the 1500 and 1600s. We were not taught about this in school.
I've always wanted to write a book about how God has blessed this country and helped in its inception so we can all live according to His will and in freedom. Really, America is the only place on earth where people can still do this! Still working on the idea. Thanks for giving me one more lead. 🙂
God bless America!
Wonderful Blog! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
We have been taught that Our Lady of Guadalupe was the patroness of the Americas.
Thanks again,

There is also the "Mary and the 50 states" poster available for $10 at CatholicArtworks.com. A different pic and title for Mary is shown for each state, and the idea was taken from the bicentennial litany. Very pretty!

You are reading my mind Lacy! Great ideas that we will be incorporating into our "4th of July Seder" ( I got this phrase from a "Focus on the Family talk by a Jewish man who thinks that Christians should celebrate the Christian heritage of our country 😉 ) I looked up the Patron of our State, Georgia. The patron is Immaculate Heart of Mary! I haven't done the tye dye yet so I am wondering if I can get the boys to make red, white, and blue Immaculate Heart shirts…. Still thinking… lol
