  • Der Christstollen, Der Stollen Oder Die Stolle
    Der Christstollen, der Stollen oder die Stolle (die Schreibweise „Stolln“ ist regional nur für die Bergwerksanlage Stollen gebräuchlich) ist ein bekanntes Weihnachts- und Gebildegebäck. Die Form und das Aussehen des Gebäcks sollen an das gewickelte Christkind erinnern. angeschnittener Christstollen Detailaufnahme Stollen sind Gebäcke aus schwerem Hefeteig. Sie enthalten mindestens 3 kg Butter oder Margarine sowie 6 kg Trockenfrüchte – ausschließlich Rosinen, Sultaninen oder Korinthen – sowie Zitronat und Orangeat, bezogen auf 10 kg Mehl. Geschichte Der handwerkliche Christstollen ist das Weihnachtsgebäck mit der wohl längsten Tradition in Deutschland. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung erfolgte „anno 1329“ in Naumburg (Saale), als Weihnachtsgabe für den Bischof Heinrich. Damals waren Stollen sehr magere Backwerke aus Hefeteig für das christliche Adventsfasten. Die bis heute unveränderte Form stellt ein Gebildebrot dar, welches an das in Windeln liegende Jesuskind erinnern soll. Dies erklärt auch die weiße Zuckerschicht außen. Die traditionelle Form ist bis heute unverändert. Katholische Dogmen erlaubten in der Fastenzeit seinerzeit weder Butter noch Milch. Stollenteige durften nur aus Wasser, Hafer und Rüböl geknetet werden. Papst Innozenz VIII. schickte 1491 ein als „Butterbrief“ bekanntes Schreiben, das Butter statt Öl erlaubte. Der „Butterbrief“ war an die Bedingung geknüpft, Buße zu zahlen, die unter anderem zum Bau des Freiberger Doms verwendet wurde. Der Butterbrief galt nur für das Herrscherhaus und dessen Lieferanten, wurde wohl aber bald großzügig ausgelegt. Man kann also mit Recht sagen, dass ein Papst am heutigen Stollenrezept mitgewirkt hat. Nach der Überlieferung war es die Idee des Hofbäckers Heinrich Drasdo in Torgau (Sachsen), den vorweihnachtlichen Fastenstollen zum Weihnachtsfest mit reichhaltigen Zutaten wie zum Beispiel Früchten zu ergänzen.

  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

  • An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada
    “Never Say Die”: An Ethnohistorical Review of Health and Healing in Aklavik, NWT, Canada by Elizabeth Cooper A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by Elizabeth Cooper Abstract The community of Aklavik, North West Territories, was known as the “Gateway to the North” throughout the first half of the Twentieth Century. In 1959, the Canadian Federal Government decided to relocate the town to a new location for a variety of economic and environmental reasons. Gwitch’in and Inuvialuit refused to move, thus claiming their current community motto “Never Say Die”. Through a series of interviews and participant observation with Elders in Aklavik and Inuvik, along with consultation of secondary literature and archival sources, this thesis examines ideas of the impact of mission hospitals, notions of health, wellness and community through an analysis of some of the events that transpired during this interesting period of history. Acknowledgements I would like to thank and honour the people in both Aklavik and Inuvik for their help and support with this project. I would like to thank my thesis committee, Dr. Christopher G Trott, Dr Emma LaRocque and Dr. Mark Rumel for their continued help and support throughout this project. I would like to thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Dr. S. Michelle Driedger’s Research in Science Communication CIHR-CFI Research Lab, University of Manitoba Graduate Studies, University of Manitoba Faculty of Arts, University of Manitoba, Department of Native Studies and University of Manitoba Graduate Students Association, for making both the research and dissemination of results for this project possible.

  • Traveling Is Like Conversing with Men of Other Centuries KUNMING, CHINA
    TTrraavveellss wwiitthh BBoobb DR. BOB CURTIS HAMM This book is copyrighted by: B. Curtis Hamm in January, 2009 Forward How does one get inspired to travel? What is the purpose of travel? How can one travel on a low budget? Who can you travel with that would be fun? Is it possible to learn from one’s travel experiences? My Aunt Goldie was my muse for travel. She was an Executive Assistant, a part time college professor, a real estate mogul and an exciting person to know. My first remembrance of her was when I was about five years old. She just returned from a cruise to China and had stayed on the bund in Shanghai. She brought back home movies which we all watched with great delight. I was the only one who wanted to go to China, and made it one of my goals. Later in life, my Sunday school classes consisted of maps of the Holy Land and this also became a must. Then, I loved reading the National Geographic magazine at the barber shop and this instilled even more desire to travel to Africa, Rome and other major places. But, I think it was always China first. Then, in 1949, the bamboo curtain was shut and China closed its doors to outsiders. Those doors were not to be opened until 1979. We started our first trip to China in 1980. My second great desire was to go to Tibet and spend a day at the Potala and see the Dali Lama. But, by the time I got to Tibet, the Dali Lama had left and spent most of his life in India.
