Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018
Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018 Guild Newsletter 2018 | 3 Welcome to the Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018 We are very excited to announce the return of the Jean Lurçat tapestry to the Chapel of the Ascension after six years. The tapestry had not been taken down since its installation in the early 1960s and although it was in very good condition it showed evidence of dye fading due to over exposure to high light levels, a few areas of abraded weft particularly at shoulder and arm height and it was very dusty. The work undertaken by conservator Zenzie Tinker (pictured below) has addressed the damage caused by dust and abrasion and the tapestry has been raised to reduce the risk of people brushing against it when using the altar. The issue of UV damage remains but the tapestry will now be checked annually by the conservator to assess its condition. The Chapel of the Ascension has played a central role in the life of the University since its creation and we are thrilled to be able to showcase the tapestry once more. We invite our alumni back to campus to view the tapestry either before or during the Bishop Otter Guild Reunion. If you would like to visit please get in touch with the Alumni Team who will be happy to arrange a visit for you. 01243 812171 [email protected] 2 | Guild Newsletter 2018 Bishop Otter College Guild President Professor Clive Behagg Vice-Presidents Dr Colin Greaves Professor Philip E D Robinson Honorary Secretary Mr Marten Lougee 11 Meadow Close Cononley, Keighley West Yorkshire BD20 8LZ 01535 636487

1/6 Reading One Christmas Around the World Christmas in Australia
Reading One Christmas around the world Christmas in Australia Adapted from an essay by Rodney Berry Christmas in Australia is always about 30° Celsius which is really hot. As the weather is so good, most Australian families go away and spend their holidays in a resort or on the beach. So ocean sports like swimming and surfing are always popular at Christmas. Christmas is casual here in Australia, people walk around in shorts and T-shirts. Everyone invites their friends and grandparents over for salad with cold meats, or a picnic, or even a barbecue. Unlike Christmas in other countries nobody has anything like a roast dinner or a turkey. When kids wake up on Christmas morning, they hurriedly toss off their sheet and race towards the plastic Christmas tree. All the presents are piled up under it. When the time comes to open the presents the kids tear off the paper and compare presents. When all of the presents have been opened they go outside and have a game of cricket or go to the beach for a swim. Source: http://www.zuzu.org/daze.html Christmas in El Salvador Adapted form an essay by Mirna Salgado Christmas in El Salvador is a time to spend with family. On Christmas day, everybody is always very busy. In the morning we wake up and prepare all the ingredients we need to cook the Christmas meal. For example, if the family is going to make tamales, they prepare the meat one day before. In my country, families celebrate this day in church, and after church we continue celebrating at home.

2003 Holidays Act Review [Ref: Submission by Keith Rankin, 21 August 2009
2003 Holidays Act Review [ref: http://dol.govt.nz/consultation/holidays-act-review/] submission by Keith Rankin, 21 August 2009 Keith Rankin Lecturer Dept of Accounting and Finance Faculty of Creative Industries and Business Unitec New Zealand Private Bag 92025, Auckland 1025 Phone: +64 9 815 4321 ext 8835 Mobile: 027 417 8715 PART ONE: TREATMENT OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS (Q13 in "Request for written submissions") • What are your views on the significance of the 11 public holidays listed in the Act? (These are: Christmas Day; Boxing Day; New Year's Day; 2 January; Waitangi Day; Good Friday; Easter Monday; ANZAC Day; Queen's Birthday; Labour Day; and Provincial Anniversary Day.) A. SIGNIFICANCE AND TIMING OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS New Zealand has 11 Statutory Public Holidays each year, including provincial anniversary holidays. There have been 11 holidays for over 35 years now. There is no reason to change the number of public holidays. Historically, New Zealanders have shown a commitment to these holidays by providing 'statutory holidays in lieu' for the Christmas and New Year holidays when the actual holidays fall on a weekend, and by "Mondayising" most of the others (2 exceptions), ensuring that when holidays fall on weekends, they are not lost. Thus the periodic "long weekend" has become an integral part of the Kiwi lifestyle; an integral part of what it means to be a New Zealander. New Zealanders, while having a deserved international reputation as diligent workers, have had a longstanding commitment to worklife balance that is reflected in the incorporation of our holidays into our culture as long weekends.

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.

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.
