  • Iac 1X Dec 2020 La Voce
    La Voce The Newsletter of the Italian American Club of Boise www.iacboise.org The Italian American Club of Boise DECEMBER 2020 MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT Buon Natale —Merry Christmas to all members of the Italian American Club of Boise. This will be my final greet- ing to you as President, so I want to say thank you for your support of our club during this difficult year. My hope is that each of us, along with our extended families, experience the joy of this season despite the personal and public health challenges still before us. One way we can better celebrate Christmas is to view it as a season instead of just one day, and to focus less on the commercial aspects and more on the more traditional religious and seasonal components. In Italy, the Christmas season lasts about one month, starting on December 8th and extending through January 6th. Depending on the region and even village in Italy from which you take your traditions, the days in between are filled with specific festivals and celebrations that can be unique to a particular area. The Christmas season begins on December 8th, and is referred to in Italian as the “Immacolata” because it honors the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This day begins a cycle of preparation for the birth of Jesus by reminding people that Mary, his earthly mother, was herself chosen for this role in a special way at her own conception. By extension, it becomes a time for us prepare our homes for Christmas by setting up a Nativity scene, called the “Presepe” in Italian, and in more modern times a Christmas tree.
