( project coordinator) E’ NATALE Quando crediamo e difendiamo la vita, quando ti ringraziamo per quanto già abbiamo, quando sappiamo metterci in ascolto della Tua parola, quando siamo di aiuto a chi ne ha bisogno, quando dividiamo le nostre gioie con gli altri, quando la speranza guida le nostre giornate e azioni, quando sappiamo essere docili alla Tua volontà, quando Ti riconosciamo come Padre e Ti preghiamo e adoriamo in silenzio, Tu, o Signore, nasci dentro di noi, e per noi ogni giorno è NATALE ! 1 Tradizioni Natalizie in Italia Il Natale si festeggia in tutto il mondo: in ogni paese, tutti i popoli cristiani e non, nel mese di Dicembre celebrano feste di pace, di fratellanza, di gioia, di prosperità, ciascuno secondo la propria cultura e le proprie tradizioni, e questo succede fin dai tempi più antichi. Il Natale è la principale festa dell’ anno, costituita da una serie di festeggiamenti che partendo dal solstizio d’ inverno arrivano fino all’ Epifania. Feste, che nella tradizione popolare, erano legate alla chiusura di un ciclo stagionale e all’apertura del nuovo ciclo. La festa appartiene all’anno liturgico cristiano, in cui si ricorda la nascita di Gesù, che nella Cristianità occidentale si celebra il 25 Dicembre, mentre nella Cristianità orientale il 6 Gennaio. Quando è nato…“ IL NATALE ?” Non è storicamente accertato che Gesù sia nato il 25 dicembre. Anche nei vangeli di Matteo e di Luca, non viene citato né il giorno , né il mese, e neppure l’anno della venuta del Figlio di Dio. E’ nel IV secolo che, con il papa Giulio I, si diffonde la celebrazione della festa cristiana del natale di Gesù il 25 Dicembre. Alcuni studiosi ritengono che questa data venne scelta dalla Chiesa in contrapposizione alla festa pagana del Sole invitto “Sol invictus”, voluta dall’ imperatore Aureliano nel 275. Festa da celebrarsi per l’appunto, il 25 Dicembre cioè 4 giorni dopo il solstizio d’inverno che cade il 21 dicembre, dopo tale data la luce (il Sole) rinasce e prende gradualmente il sopravvento sulle tenebre e le giornate si allungano. Il 25 Dicembre diviene, quindi, la data del “DIES NATALIS CRISTI”, la nascita di Gesù: “ luce del mondo” , il vero “ Sole di giustizia” che brillerà in eterno. La scelta di questo giorno, comunque, fu sanzionata nel 354 da papa LIBERIO. 2 Prima di Natale... L’ Avvento Il periodo che va dalla 4° Domenica prima di Natale sino al 25 dicembre è detto Avvento. Avvento vuol dire memoria, attesa e partecipazione alla venuta di Gesù. In questo tempo d’attesa il Sacerdote, durante la celebrazione della Messa, indossa vesti di colore viola in segno di penitenza e legge ai fedeli le parole scritte dai Sapienti nei Libri Sacri: “Il Re che deve venire,viene. Adoriamolo”. Nei secoli passati non si mangiava carne durante questo periodo. Molti digiunavano o si accontentavano di pane e acqua e pregavano. Erano certi che questo fosse il modo migliore per prepararsi al Natale. Il periodo dell’Avvento è caratterizzato da numerosi simboli. La corona d’AVVENTO L’uso della corona d’Avvento é da collegarsi ad un‘antica consuetudine germanico- precristiana , derivata dai riti pagani della luce , che si celebravano nel mese di YULE (Dicembre). Nel XVI secolo si diffuse tra i cristiani ed é un cerchio realizzato con foglie d’alloro o rametti di abete (il loro colore verde simboleggia la speranza e la vita) con quattro ceri . Durante le quattro settimane ogni domenica si accende un cero. Secondo una tradizione ogni cero ha un suo significato :c’é il cero dei Profeti , il cero di Betlemme, quello dei pastori e quello degli Angeli. L’accensione di ogni cero é accompagnata da un momento di preghiera . Si conclude con un canto alla Madre di Gesù. LA NOVENA Mentre nei piccoli centri come nelle grandi città, nelle piccole case come nelle grandi ville, l’aria che si respira è di festa : vie illuminate,vetrine addobbate, presepi, alberi,profumi,luci,sapori intensi e piacevoli,nel cuore dei cristiani giunge al culmine il fervore dell’ attesa di Gesù che si fa uomo ed entra nella storia dell’ umanità. Ogni fedele si prepara all’ evento con un periodo di 9 giorni, caratterizzato da una speciale celebrazione popolare “la Novena”, in cui spiccano i tradizionali canti natalizi,le preghiere dei Salmi,che sono le più antiche preghiere della Chiesa ed il canto del “ Magnificat “, l’ inno di lode di Maria a Dio “l’Altissimo” che si trova nel vangelo di San Luca. 3 LA VIGILIA DI NATALE Ha una grande valenza nel mondo cristiano, perchè si celebra nella notte la nascita di Gesù. Per i fedeli, la veglia notturna della vigilia serve da transito verso il mistero della Nascita. A questo significato originario é stato poi aggiunto quello della festa popolare , caratterizzato da un cenone e dallo scambio dei doni. Nella notte di Natale si crede avvengano prodigi e incantesimi, e che solo in essa si possano trasmettere segreti e scongiuri per guarire gravi malattie. Secondo un’antica tradizione chi nasce in quella notte diventa lupo mannaro, perchè essa è riservata per l’eternità alla Nascita di Gesù, e chi osa violarla viene così punito. Tra le credenze positive vi è quella che l’acqua, attinta alle fontane a mezzanotte in perfetto silenzio, rechi benessere e ricchezza. I RITI DELLA VIGILIA La sera della vigilia si è soliti apparecchiare la tavola con tutte le pietanze caratteristiche di questo giorno. Le donne con tanto amore e gioia preparano il cenone della vigilia costituito da 13 pietanze di “magro” che rievocano la magia del numero 13 con un originario carattere purificatorio. Che cosa si troverà sulla tavola? Ecco i piatti che secondo la tradizione non possono assolutamente mancare: Capitone in umido, stoccafisso o baccalà al sugo con vermicelli o in umido con lampascioni, frittura, pettole, focacce, rape lesse, anguilla, frutti di mare, verdure varie, frutta secca, dolci (cartellate, “purceddhruzzi” e dolci di mandorle in Puglia, struffoli a Napoli,Pangiallo a Roma, mostazzoli e pignolata in Sicilia, panforte a Siena) oltre all’oca che è quasi dappertutto pietanza rituale di questo giorno. Dopo aver finito la cena più abbondante dell’anno, tutta la famiglia si prepara per andare ad assistere alla Messa di Mezzanotte: un momento per tutti di raccoglimento spirituale, ma anche l’occasione per incontrare amici, conoscenti e scambiarsi gli auguri con una gioiosa stretta di mano. Di ritorno la famiglia si riunisce intorno al Presepe e il più piccolo depone la statuetta del Bambinello nella grotta con preghiere e canti natalizi. IL CEPPO Nella più antica tradizione popolare, si accendeva nel caminetto un gran ceppo di abete per rendere confortevole e caldo l’ambiente in segno di ospitalità, di accoglienza alla venuta del Figlio di Dio. Nell’accensione del ceppo che in alcune località rimane acceso anche fino a Capodanno, si fondono due elementi propiziatori: il Valore Vitale del Fuoco, immagine del Sole, e il simbolico consumarsi 4 del tronco, del vecchio anno con tutto ciò che di male vi si era accumulato. Anticamente a Genova, veniva offerto al Doge un ceppo dalle genti della montagna; poi il Doge versava sul tronco vino e confetti e lo accendeva tra la gioia dei presenti. In Puglia si crede che l’accensione del ceppo simboleggi la distruzione del peccato originale. I DONI L’usanza di scambiarsi doni affonda le sue radici nell’ antica Roma,quando,durante i Saturnali,feste popolari che si tenevano in dicembre per la seminagione,si banchettava e si offrivano ai convitati piccoli oggetti di cera o di argilla. Erano doni che si scambiavano in onore della Dea Strenia . Da qui l’ uso della parola “Strenna”. Con la diffusione del Cristianesimo, la vecchia usanza ha continuato ad esistere pur acquistando un significato diverso. Infatti col passare di alcuni secoli, i doni furono depositati vicino al presepe o sotto l’ albero,ed erano costituiti dai frutti della terra e della tradizione contadina come fichi secchi, mele, prugne, piccoli dolci, agrumi, fichi d’India e pigne. Oggi, purtroppo, il consumismo ha portato ad un’ offerta di mercato così vasta che gli oggetti che si donano sono estremamente vari, così come sono varie le persone alle quali essi sono destinati. BABBO NATALE Nel mondo non si può pensare al Natale senza quel sorridente e barbuto vecchio familiarmente chiamato Babbo Natale . Ma chi è Babbo Natale??? Il personaggio che ha ispirato Babbo Natale è una figura storica realmente esistita: San Nicola, vescovo di Myra ( Asia Minore) , vissuto attorno al 350 d.C.

  • Német Népszokások, Hagyományok I. Húsvéti Hagyományok Az Ünnep
    Német népszokások, hagyományok I. Húsvéti hagyományok Az ünnep német elnevezése, az Ostern szó egy ősi germán istennő, Ostara nevéből származik, kinek ünnepe éppen a tavaszi napéjegyenlőség idejére esett. Húsvéti tűz – Osterfeuer Az egyik legismertebb német húsvéti szokás a húsvéti tüzek gyújtása, mely már az ősi germán tavaszünnep egyik fő látványossága is volt. Ma ezzel a tűzzel a keresztények Jézus feltámadását, az örök életet ünneplik, míg mások az élet éltetőjét, a napot köszöntik vele. Nagyszombaton vagy húsvét vasárnapján fadarabokból magas kupacot építenek a mezőn, a dombtetőn, vagy éppenséggel a templom előtt, majd lángba borítják. Korábban a máglyarakás és -gyújtás csak a férfiak kiváltsága volt, ma már ez egy igazi népünnepély, melyet talán a gyerekek élveznek a legjobban, mikor a kialvó tűz parazsában krumplit süthetnek. A fakupac tetejére néhol öreg méhkast vagy tojásokkal és szalagokkal feldíszített fenyőfát is állítanak, hogy a tüzet, mely az életet szimbolizálja, még jobban felszítsa. A tűz fényének szerencsehozó szerepet tulajdonítanak, így aki látja, szerencsefiává válik. Sőt azokat a házakat, amelyeket a húsvéti tűz fénye bevilágít, a tűzvésztől és minden betegségtől megóvja. A tűz átugrása is szerencsét jelent, fiatal szerelmespárok kéz a kézben ugranak át felette, hogy hosszú, szép jövőjük lehessen. A termelő gazdák pedig egy gazdag termés reményében ugornak át a nem veszélytelen tűz lángjai felett. Ám kinek a merész mutatvány nem sikerül, nagy bajt hoz magára, a néphit szerint még abban az évben meghal, hacsak nem kormozza be arcát a tűz hamvával. Egyes településeken nagy hagyománya van a húsvéti lángoló kerekek (Osterräder) gurításának. Lüdge (Ostwestfalen) és Günsterode (Nordhessen) városában húsvét vasárnapjának estéjén nagy tömeg gyűlik össze, hogy a hatalmas lángoló kerekeket legurítsák a dombról a völgybe.

  • 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.

  • Christmas Workshop
    Christmas traditions around the world Apostolos Varnavas Primary School Year 5B Christmas in Italy Here you could describe the topic of the section One of the best Italian Christmas traditions is that they celebrate for much longer than other countries. Their festive season starts on 8 December and it lasts until 6 January, the 12th day of Christmas, known as the Epiphany. Italians have many Christmas traditions. For example, they do not eat meat on Christmas Eve. Instead, they eat a variety of fish and pasta dishes. A popular Christmas tradition for those who live in Rome is visiting the Vatican for midnight mass with the Pope on Christmas Eve. In various Italian cities you will find men playing bagpipes in the squares and they are dressed as shepherds. This was based on the story of the shepherds who visited Jesus on the night of his birth and played the bagpipes for him. In Italy it is not only Santa who brings Christmas gifts. On 6 January, marking the end of the holiday season, there is a visit from the good witch and legend says that on this date she would fill stockings with candy for the good children and coal for the naughty children. Over Christmas, the Italians make Panettone and Pandoro, which are sweet bread. Italy at Christmas is incredibly beautiful! TheChristmasRussian Church celebrate inChristmas Russiaaccording to the Julian or the so-called old calendar ,which is about two weeks behind the modern calendar. For this reason, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January and not on the 25th of December.

  • Christmas in Milan
    Christmas in Milan My favourite time of the year arrived in Milan: Christmas. Lights and sparkling buildings everywhere. Christmas decoration above and around the entry of the fancy designer stores. A big plastic tree on the Piazza del Duomo. Christmas market around the Duomo. Christmas events. And did I mention the Swarovski tree and the international market? This is how I could typify the Holiday feeling in my Erasmus city. Despite of the first week of December which was a bit of a suffer for me - considering that I got sick- I still enjoyed preparing for the Holidays here. A dozens of people come here only to visit the previously mentioned international market. The market is about vendors coming to the city for one week from all over the world to sell unique, hand-crafted, high-quality creations. In addition to all of this, you can enjoy a series of musical and dance performances and try the best international cuisines. However, unfortunately I only know this from stories of friends who went there, since I wasn’t able to participate (again, because of my sickness). I even know a Hungarian seller who happened to sell clothes there. The big plastic tree located in front of Duomo, not only switches the lights of the colours to the rythm of the Christmas songs, but you can also go under the tree and admire it from the inside – which is actually much more beautiful and fun than from the outside. Moving on to the other Christmas tree, the swarovski tree can be found in the middle of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
