Let us, then, O brothers and sis- ters, bring these virtues as a gift to the One Who was born for the sake of our salvation – let us bring them in place of the gold, frankincense and myrrh which the Magi brought Him, as to One Who is King, God, and Man, come to die for us.

    Southeastern Europe (Balkans) Albania Christmas (Krishtlindjet) on 25 December is a public holiday in Albania, a nation with significant Muslim and Christian populations, and is celebrated by both Orthodox and CatholicAlbanians. However, even some non-Christian Albanians celebrate them. The Albanian wish is "Gëzuar Krishtlindjet!". People go to church at midnight on 24 December, or during 25 December. The Christmas atmosphere is felt not only in the capital city, Tirana, but also in many other cities, for example in: Korça, Shkodra, Lezha, Durrës, Berat etc. The rituals and traditions are very similar to those practiced by the other European Christian nations. Romania and Moldova Main article: Christmas in Romania Christmas (Romanian: Crăciun) in Romania falls on December 25 and is generally considered the second most important religious Romanian holiday after Easter. In Moldova, although Christmas is celebrated on 25 December like in Romania, 7 January is also recognized as an official holiday in Moldova. Celebrations begin with the decoration of the Christmas tree during daytime on 24 December, and in the evening (Christmas Eve, in Romanian: Ajunul Crăciunului) Moş Crăciun (Father Christmas) delivers the presents. The singing of carols is a very important part of Romanian Christmas festivities. On the first day of Christmas, many carolers walk through the streets of the towns and villages, holding a star made of cardboard and paper on which are depicted various scenes from the Bible. Romanian tradition has the smallest children going from house to house, singing carols and reciting poems and legends during the whole Christmas season. The leader of the group carries with him a star made of wood, covered with metal foil and decorated with bells and coloured ribbons.

    The Gift of Marriage for Christmas, A Home with the Presence of Jesus Desert Light Christian Church, December 29, 2019 ’ ’ This week we ll look at scriptures in the gospel of Matthew, next week at Luke s gospel. God chose two people in transition from singleness to married life as the ones who would would cooperate with Him in His “ ” plan to invade this planet with His physical presence. Before Jesus, God had shown up in supernatural theoph’anies like His walks with Adam and Eve in the Garden (Genesis 3’:8), or the visitors to Abraham (Gen’esis 18:1), Moses and the burning bush (Exodus 3:1-6), Samson s parents (Judges 13:1-32), or the great visitation upon Solomon s temple where the priests couldn t stand up to minister (1 Chronicles 5:14).

As Galatians 4:4 stated, At the right time, Go“d the Holy Spirit entered”the womb of a yo“ung girl, and c”reated a special, one and o’nly, or only begotten embryo to grow in her belly.

(average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Jewels of Bohemia: Czech Republic, Slovakia & Hungary itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: In my mind, there is nothing more quaint and picturesque than the rural villages that dot the countryside of the Czech Republic. To immerse myself in their traditions and everyday life, I explore rural communities like Slavonice, a small village nestled on the border with Austria. You’ll see what I mean when you experience A Day in the Life of a small, family-run farm here, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the owners, lend a hand with the daily farm chores, and share a Home-Hosted Lunch with your hosts around the warmth of a bonfire. I believe the most moving stories you’ll hear are from the locals who live and work in the regions you travel to around the world, and that is what I found to be true in Prague when I spoke with Zdenek Vacek, a local teacher and lifelong Prague resident, about the Velvet Revolution. I was saddened to hear the reality of their turbulent past under the Czech Communist regime.

M: Sărbătoarea Crăciunului este un pic diferită la oraș și la sat. De asemenea sunt particularități locale, în funcție de regiunile țării. De pildă, tradiția colindelor de Crăciun este mai puternică în Transilvania, în Maramureș. Colindele și cântecele specifice de iarnă în Moldova, și tradițiile legate de sărbătorile de iarnă în Moldova sunt cu precădere legate de Sfântul Vasile, de Anul Nou. De Crăciun, pe masa românului se află, în mod tradițional se află sarmalele făcute în frunză de varză murată și cozonacul. La care, bine înțeles, se adaugă alte preparate din carne de porc, iarăși cu specificul local. În noaptea de Ajun se colindă. Colindătorii primeau covrigi, nuci, de curând primesc bani. La oraș în Ajun se împodobește bradul. În familiile catolice există o slujbă de Crăciun, de Ajun de Crăciun seara. În familiile ortodoxe, sau familiile ortodoxe se duc la slujba de Crăciun dimineața, pe 25. I: Despre Anul Nou, câteva tradiții? M: Cum am spus, tradițiile populare de Anul Nou sunt legate, mai ales în Moldova, de o serie de obiceiuri arhaice. Este vorba de jocul cu măști, se colindă cu Ursul, cu Capra, sunt pe urmă Irozii. Pentru asta sunt o serie de… se fac o serie de măști din blană de oaie sau de capră. Li se fac niște figuri grotești, li se pun dinți din fasole. Și cu aceste măști se dansează la… în bătătura gazdei.
