After Googling Liturgical Kites I still cannot provide a definite source for purchasing liturgical kites. I was, however, surprised to obtain 10 pages from my search on the subject, and while I think there are many kites available for purchase with appropriate symbolic meaning (dove kites, for Pentecost, kites with various floral designs which could be used for any number of Saint Day Feasts) I think it would be a wonderful learning tool for adults and children alike to make and fly your own kite. There are multiple sources for obtaining "kite kits". My most interesting search turned up an article written by Marcus Benjamin for The Joint Board of Christian Education of Australia and New Zealand. The article, "Kites for Pentecost" includes and delightful Litany for those who would fly kites. I am including a link to this site for anyone interested in reading the article. http//thebillabong.info/otm_pcost/otm67_p8.html
Friends of the Groom is the source for dove kites for Pentecost. Their order form is at http://fog.homestead.com/order.html. It is described on that page as follows: "This is a 14" by 18" dove made from white rip-stop nylon with a 12 foot red and white ribbon tail. (The body of the kite is only slightly larger than a real dove.) Great for Pentecost."
