  • Der November
    An den Bäumen welk und matt, schwebt das letzte Laub zur Neige, niedertaumelt Blatt für Blatt und verhüllt die Waldessteige. Der November Blick in die Tiefe –Rückverbindung – nach vorne schauen Zeit Stirb und werde Windmond – Nebelmond – Schlachtmond - Schneemond Der NOVEMBER ist der elfte Monat im gregorianischen Kalender und hat 30 Tage. Im julianischen Kalender war er der neunte Monat des Jahres, deswegen wurde er November genannt (lat. novem = neun). Alte Namen für den November sind Wintermonat, Neblung, Nebelmond, da die Nebel dicht über dem Land hängen. Schlachtmonat oder Schlachtmond, weil in ihm einst das Schlachten der Schweine für den Wintervorrat üblich war. Früher hieß es, dass im November Wotan mit seinem Heer der verstorbenen Seelen über den Himmel tobt und Frost, Kälte, Eis und Schnee mit sich bringt und die Erde erstarren lässt. Das Sterben lädt uns ein sich mit seinem Mysterium des Lebens zu befassen. Seite 1 von 10 November 2013 Der November ist ein Monat der Einkehr, Besinnung, Innenschau. Des Gedankens an die Verstorbenen und Gefallenen. Er zählt zu den Geisterstunden des Jahres und lädt ein seine persönlichen Schattenthemen zu betrachten und sich damit auseinanderzusetzen. So haben wir die Möglichkeit Altes und Vergangenes in uns „Sterben“ zu lassen, um Neuem Platz zu machen. Wir haben die Möglichkeit uns tief in unserem Inneren zu wandeln und uns neu auszurichten, Neues erfahren zu können – alles in Verbindung und Anbindung an und mit der göttlichen Quelle in uns. Zu Asche werde ich, in die Tiefe stesteigeige ich hinab, aus der Asche erhebe ich mich in das Licht des neuenneuen Morgens. Besondere Tage im November: 01.

  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    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.

Tradycja i obyczaje Tradycja, obyczaje i zwyczaje są jednym z ważniejszych elementów budowania historii i tożsamości regionu/państwa. Jest tym, co nas odróżnia. Wg Słownika etnologicznego tradycja to: dobra kulturowe przekazywane w czasie (również w przestrzeni), przejmowane i wartościowane (...). tradycja jest przekazywana od pokolenia starszego do młodszego, od ustępujących do bezpośrednio po nich następujących (…) Konieczne są co najmniej dwa przekazy dóbr kulturowych, w których uczestniczą trzy generacje, aby móc te dobra uznać za tradycję (...) Główną jej (funkcją– KG) jest wskazana już transmisja, dzięki której społeczeństwa nie muszą już tworzyć wszystkiego od początku i mogą dysponować potencjałem stworzonym przez poprzednie pokolenia. Ponadto tradycja dostarcza systemowi społeczno‐kulturowemu niezbędnej dozy stabilizacji oraz stanowi ważną podstawę integracji, identyfikacji i poczucia wartości własnej grupy (…) Tradycja polega bowiem zarówno na bezrefleksyjnych, jak i refleksyjnych zachowaniach i postawach, a o ich rezultacie decyduje całość procesu kulturowego.

  • Just a Normal Childhood
    THE FORMATIVE YEARS Just a normal childhood In post-war Germany Neuss celebrated 2000 years in 1984 Post war Germany Family Vom Samstag, 6. Januar bis zum Dienstag, 9. Januar 2018 ziehen die Ministranten und Kinder als Heilige Drei Könige von Haus zu Haus. Wir bringen den Menschen den Segen nach Hause. Kaspar Melchior Balthasar . Sternsingen Fastnacht und Fasching • 1. Alemannische Fastnacht Unsere Vorfahren, die alten Germanen, feierten im Frühling ein wildes Fest um die bösen Wintergeister zu vertreiben und somit die kalte Jahreszeit zu beenden. Sie setzten sich gruselige Masken auf und machten mit ihren Trommeln und Rasseln einen ohrenbetäubenden Lärm. Aus den Masken sind heute Kostüme aller Art geworden – meistens sind diese bunt und lustig. • 2. Fastenzeit im zwölften Jahrhundert Ein zweiter Ursprung geht bis ins zwölfte Jahrhundert zurück. Um den Glauben der Menschen zu stärken, hat der Papst eine jährliche Fastenzeit zwischen Aschermittwoch und Karsamstag verordnet. Die Menschen sollten mehr beten und dafür weniger essen. Besonders Fleisch war streng verboten. Dies erklärt auch die Bezeichnung Karneval. Der Begriff kommt aus dem Lateinischen und „Carne vale“ bedeutet in etwa „Fleisch, lebe wohl“. Vor der strengen Fastenzeit haben es sich die Menschen dann noch einmal richtig gut gehen lassen und ausgiebig gegessen und gefeiert. • 3. Das Saturnalienfest Im alten Rom wurde früher das „Saturnalienfest“ gefeiert, welches als weiterer Ursprung für unser heutiges Karnevalsfest steht. Für einen Tag waren die Herren und ihre Sklaven „gleichgestellt“. Es kam sogar vor, dass die vornehmen Herren ihre Sklaven bedient haben. Heute spiegelt sich diese Tradition in den „Büttenreden“ wieder. Das Volk erhebt das Wort und hält lustige Reden.

Children believe that Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) brings them presents on December 6th, St. Nicholas day. Children put their shoes in front of the fireplace, together some for Sinterklaas like a drawing or biscuits; they might also leave a carrot for Sinterklaas’ horse and something for his assistant Zwarte Piet. Traditional foods that are left for Sinterklaas include tangerines, gingerbread, chocolate, and ‘mokjes’ (cookies made in the shapes of letters). Different regions of Belgium have different customs and traditions about St. Nicholas. The visit of Sinterklaas is a separate occasion than Christmas. Christmas is a more religious festival.
