  • Christmas in Russia
    Don KosakenChor Russland Marcel Nicolajevich Verhoeff Christmas in Russia 1 Since my earliest childhood I listened to the Russian émigré choir – the Don Cossacks Choir under its director Sergei Jaroff, and was fascinated. My stepfather Mikhail Vassil’yevich Ustinov introduced me to Russian music, and taught me my first Russian church hymns and folksongs. I feel this fascination even today – the choir still exists, but only on records and tapes. Christmas in Russia The ensemble Don Cossacks Choir Russia, under its conductor Marcel Nikolayevich Verhoeff, gives me the same pleasure. In my opinion the sound of the choir, with its magnificent Russian voices and its performance of the music, comes very Russian Orthodox Christmas Vespers close to the quality of the Don Cossacks Choir under the direction of Jaroff. I am very impressed that the conductor Marcel Nicolajevich Verhoeff, coming from Holland, understands the Russian soul Russisch-orthodoxe Weihnachtsvesper so deeply – that is very important for this music. I wish him and his choir worldwide success.

    1 Christmas in bSouth An Ethnic Bethlehem Experience a Brass ornament keepsake of the American Christmas Tree Christmas Trees and Traditions of South Bethlehem Ethnic Groups SOUTH BETHLEHEM HISTORICAL SOCIETY 2 The American Christmas Tree German immigrants brought the Christmas tree to America in the 1800s. 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.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.1.9 — Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same topic (e.g., in illustrations, descriptions, or procedures). CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.9 — Compare and contrast the most important points presented by two texts on the same topic. Objective: Students will be able to compare and contrast how Christmas is celebrated in Australia and Russia by reading factual information about both countries and completing a Venn-diagram. Key Points: 1. Australia’s Southern Hemisphere location means it’s summer time in December. 2. Instead of sleigh bells and cocoa, many Australians head to the beach to celebrate the holidays with a prawn lunch. 3. Russian children decorate a New Year’s tree, instead of a Christmas tree. 4. Russian children wait with longing for Grandfather Frost who travels with his granddaughter Snowmaiden, delivering presents across the land. Opening: Review with students the December calendar. Have students name the holiday that occurs in this month. Does it occur at the beginning, middle, or end of the month? What day of the month is Materials needed: Christmas on? — Calendar showing – Ask students to orally share some things that they do on Christmas Day.
