  • Southeastern Europe (Balkans)
    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
    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). Christmas means“tBhuattwinhsetenatdhoeffaulmlnyesstiscoafl,tmimigehhtya,dobcovimoues, lGyoodthserntwfoorrltdhlyhis Ssuopne, rbnoartnuroaflwthoemopahna…ny” God would enter our existence as one of us, a baby. 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. This event called by some as the immaculate conceptio’n resulting in the V“irgin’ Birth, is a necessary part o”f God s plan to save people from sin. Only those with real faith and a relationship with God could believe Mary s bizarre claim that, God s ’Spirit made me pregnant! rather than whatAwWoruilndksleeeinmTtiombee obvious, a young girl g“ot too passionate or maybe a Roman soldier had his way with her.

  • Through Acting to Understanding
    COLEGIUL COLEGIUL TEHNIC TEHNIC INFOEL INFOEL BISTRITA BISTRITA TATU THROUGH ACTING TO UNDERSTANDING TATU is the acronym of a Comenius multilateral partnership project entitled ”Trough Acting to Understanding”- teaching English through drama, which involves students from the IX th and Xth grades from “Infoel” Technical College in Bistrita. This Project started from the premises that role playing is a type of activity that allows communication and interaction on stage and not only, the final product being the representation of a play, written by the students themselves, which should reflect all the information acquired over the two years of the project(2010-2012) about the partner countries. The project involves 70 students and 12 teachers who will exchange views, will cooperate in the planning and the carrying out of various steps and will share their experiences in the working groups during the mobility but also on the platform of the program “Comenius-TATU”. The international involvement in this project requires also editing a brief newsletter, dedicated to the students, reflected by a short stopover in each country involved, so that we could find all the details, curiosities, legends, traditions, etc. Germany Portugal France Turkey The Czech Republic Romania Christmas represents for everyone the opportunity to spend more time in an intimate setting with your beloved ones, the closest friends and family. We tried to reproduce what represents the best celebrations of Christmas in The Czech Republic. The attitude of the students from 10 G involved in this project was great. They brought a lot of information about Christmas in this country.

What is neces- NOVEMBER/ DECEMBER 2015 sary, first of all, is faith in the Son of God, in the Gospel as the sal- vation-bestowing heavenly teach- ing; a true repentance of sins and The glorious Elias, incarnate messenger of God, the correction of life and of heart; communion in prayer and in the pillar of prophets, mysteries [sacraments]; the knowledge and fulfillment of and second forerunner of the coming of Christ Christ’s commandments. Also necessary are the virtues: Chris- tian humility, alms-giving, conti- nence, purity and chastity, sim- plicity and goodness of heart. 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.
