Christmas traditions around the world Apostolos Varnavas Primary School Year 5B Christmas in Italy Here you could describe the topic of the section One of the best Italian Christmas traditions is that they celebrate for much longer than other countries. Their festive season starts on 8 December and it lasts until 6 January, the 12th day of Christmas, known as the Epiphany. Italians have many Christmas traditions. For example, they do not eat meat on Christmas Eve. Instead, they eat a variety of fish and pasta dishes. A popular Christmas tradition for those who live in Rome is visiting the Vatican for midnight mass with the Pope on Christmas Eve. In various Italian cities you will find men playing bagpipes in the squares and they are dressed as shepherds. This was based on the story of the shepherds who visited Jesus on the night of his birth and played the bagpipes for him. In Italy it is not only Santa who brings Christmas gifts. On 6 January, marking the end of the holiday season, there is a visit from the good witch and legend says that on this date she would fill stockings with candy for the good children and coal for the naughty children. Over Christmas, the Italians make Panettone and Pandoro, which are sweet bread. Italy at Christmas is incredibly beautiful! TheChristmasRussian Church celebrate inChristmas Russiaaccording to the Julian or the so-called old calendar ,which is about two weeks behind the modern calendar.

Holidays Around the World Pack Cover Italy
HOLIDAYS AROUND THE WORLD: ITALY Fun Traditions, Activities, and Much More! Christmas Traditions in Italy Christmas Celebrations One of the most important ways of celebrating Christmas in Italy is the Nativity crib scene. A lot of Italian families have a Nativity crib in their homes. The city of Naples in Italy is world-famous for its cribs and crib making. These are known as 'Presepe Napoletano' (meaning Neapolitan Cribs). Sometimes the Nativity scene is displayed in the shape of a pyramid which can be several feet tall! It's made of several tiers of shelves and is decorated with colored paper, gold-covered pinecones and small candles. A small star is often hung inside the top of the pyramid/triangle. The shelves above the manger scene might also contain fruit, candy, and presents. Epiphany is also important in Italy. On Epiphany night, children believe that an old lady called 'Befana' brings presents for them. Children put stockings up by the fireplace for Befana to fill. In parts of northern Italy, the Three Kings might bring you present rather than Befana. On Christmas day 'Babbo Natale' (Santa Claus) might bring them some small gifts, but the main day for present giving is on Epiphany. An old Italian custom is for children to go out carol singing and playing songs on shepherds pipes, wearing shepherds sandals and hats. Some families have a 'Ceppo' or Yule Log which is burnt through the Christmas season. Christmas Meal On Christmas Eve, it's common that no meat is eaten. Often a light seafood meal is eaten and then people go to the Midnight Mass service.

Christmas Around the World
Christmas Around the World Christmas in Ethiopia Ethiopia uses the Julian calendar, therefore they celebrate Christmas or Ganna (or Genna) on January 7th. Most Ethiopians do not decorate with trees or lights, nor do they all give gifts. They spend this time eating good food, going to church, spending time with family, and playing games. They dress in a traditional white garment called a netela and some walk to church at 4 AM. Others go to church on Christmas Eve at 6 PM. At church they will receive a candle, walk around the church three times, and stand for over three hours before the men and boys play a popular game also called ganna. https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreakirkby/48297525787 Watch to learn about Click on the book cover for a Learn more about read aloud of The Story of the some Ethiopian Christmas in Ethiopia.

“Christmas Around the World”
“Christmas Around the World” Do you ever wonder how boys and girls celebrate Christmas in other parts of the world? Let's explore together and learn about Christmas traditions in other countries! Christmas in England! Can you find England on a map? In England boys and girls hang Christmas cards from their trees. They also put little candles on the branches of their trees. Some families do not eat turkey in England! Children there enjoy a wonderful meal of roast beef and plum pudding. On December 26th in England, the English celebrate a holiday called "Boxing Day." This name and holiday comes from a legend about noblemen boxing up gifts to give to their servants. This holiday is also called Saint Stephen's Day. Do you know who Saint Stephen was? You may have read about Stephen in the Bible. Stephen was a martyr for Jesus and he was stoned to death for his belief in Christ. In England little boys and girls receive their gifts from Father Christmas and they are not allowed to open their gifts on Christmas morning as is the custom in the United States. Children in England must wait and wait and wait until Christmas afternoon! Can you imagine! Children do hang their stockings by the fireplace to allow Father Christmas to stuff them with goodies. Children in England have a very unusual way of delivering their mail to Santa Claus. Instead of using their local post office, they throw their letters in the fireplace!

December 2016
Headteacher’s Update — Mr Kevin Day - December 2016 Dear Parents, Governors and Friends of the School, Welcome to the December newsletter, although it feels like only a few weeks ago that I was writing the first one of the school year! The long term seems to have flown past so fast. The teachers and learning support staff are currently ensuring that the children are learning and making the best progress possible, whilst balancing this with the inevitable Christmas practices and managing a school full of children who seem to get more excit- ed every day! Highlights in the past few weeks have included the school annual carol service at High- bury Church, the students (and staff choir) were in wonderful form in every respect. I received many compliments from the families who attended about the students singing, behaviour and smart appearance. Thank you to Miss Lentel for organising this visit and to Richard Cleaves and Highbury for hosting. Almost 50 parents and carers attended this year’s Primary Nativity and witnessed a col- ourful production with wonder- ful acting, confident narrators and absolutely wonderful sing- ing. Very well done to all in- volved and particular praise to the Senior Director, Mrs Hall. Belmont enjoyed Christmas Din- ner this week with 150 children, staff and guests squeezing into our hall. It was a lovely occasions and once again all the students were brilliant and much to my de- light we had every single student involved so very well done to all of class 1 who were bold and brave to join in with the whole school.

CHRISTMAS in Italy (Grugliasco)
1. CHRISTMAS At Christmas, people remember when Jesus Christ was born and the Christian religion started. Today, Christmas is a very important time in the Christian year, but it is also very important to those who do not go to church. It is a time for buying and giving presents, having parties, and being with family. People start get ready for Christmas in November. Shop-keepers decorate their shops with lights, trees and other decorations, and shoppers start to look for presents. Shops get very busy and stay open later. People with family and friends in other countries often send them cards and presents, and everyone begins to make plans for the coming holidays. An interesting theory connects the tradition of exchanging gifts to an ancient Roman festivity in honour of Ianus and Strenia (in Italian a Christmas gift is called strenna ), celebrated at the beginning of the year, when Romans were used to giving each other presents. In the middle of December, most families buy a Christmas tree and make the Presepe, and put them inside the house, adding colourful decorations. 2. CHRISTMAS NATIVITY SCENES Christmas crib remembers where Jesus Christ was born. It is one of the oldest and most beloved Christmas tradition in Italy. In 1223, in Greccio, a village in Umbria (Central Italy), St. Francis from Assisi made the 1st living nativity scene, in Italy. Today the crib is an important Christmas tradition for Italian people. Some days before Christmas we start to build the crib. At first we build the landscape: the mountains, in the background and a green meadow in front of them.

Prior to the Civil War, President Franklin Pierce was the first to have a Christmas tree in the White House. Today, American holiday celebrations include many traditions, especially those brought by ethnic groups to South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. a b Christmas in South Bethlehem ~ An Ethnic Experience n Christmas Eve in 1947, fourteen year-old Portuguese immigrant, Armindo Souza arrived at Union Station withO his parents Antonio and Teresa, and his older brother, Antonio, Jr. From the station, they walked through four feet of snow to their home on Buchanan St. in South Bethlehem. In 1987, while a member of the Pennsylvania Governors Heritage Affairs Advisory Commission, Armindo headed Souza the first “Portuguese Heritage Week” proclaimed by the state. In the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Armindo noticed a collection of Christmas trees on display, decorated by resident ethnic groups from around the State. In 1991, while he served on the South Bethlehem Historical Society Board of Directors, Armindo applied a similar concept of decorating ethnic trees, which became Christmas in South Bethlehem—An Ethnic Experience. Through this annual Christmas tree display, ethnic diversity is known and celebrated in South Bethlehem—thanks to Armindo Souza. “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year” 3 Christmas Trees and Traditions of South Bethlehem Ethnic Groups African-American Traditions — he tradition of decorating Christmas trees was adopted by African-Americans based on a practice by 19th century Americans.
