Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name ‘Christmas’ comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. The ‘Christ-Mass’ service was the only one that could take place after sunset (and before sunrise the next day), so people had it at midnight! So, we get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to Christmas.
Christmas is now celebrated by people around the world, whether they are Christians or not. It’s a time when family and friends come together and remember the good things they have. People, and especially children, also like Christmas as it’s a time when you give and receive presents!
This week was surround by Christmassy feels for our little ones at ABC Montessori. We started off the week with a Christmas craft activity where our enthusiastic students made a whole lot of artsy decorations for Christmas with the help of our warm and helpful teachers. With cut-outs, to drawings, to origami, the entire craft day was dedicated towards making the most beautiful, vibrant and innovative decorations and drawings.
Wednesday took a fun turn of events when our little angles had an exciting excursion at the nearby Church. The purpose of this visit was to educate our children about Christmas, why we celebrate it, the festivities around it and the tradition that follows this lively festival. The kids offered their prayers to Lord Jesus and lit candles to garner his blessings. They were taught about the importance of hanging stockings, carolling, the colour combination of red and green and the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree and gifting people presents
