Comenius Advent Calendar 2013

Casella 2
Christmas lights are used to decorate towns and houses during the festive season.

Casella 10
One of the most popular Christmastime accoutrements, holly has sharp edges, symbolic of the crown of thorns worn by Jesus at his crucifixion. The red berries represent blood.

Casella 8
In Spain, the first celebration of Christmas is on 8 December. This is called El Día de la Inmaculada and it is a celebration in honour of The Virgin Mary. There are processions with music and singing. It is a national holiday.

Casella 4
Reindeers are used to pull Father Christmas’s sledge around the World on Christmas eve to deliver presents to children.

Casella 7
Turkey is a traditional Christmas lunch in Britain. It is now also eaten in many other countries around the world.

Casella 5
Red Robin is a traditional British bird, and is used as a Christmas symbol.

Casella 9
From around the 8 December, in the Catalan area of Spain, families place a special Christmas log in a prominent position in the house. Nowadays, the log has a painted face and stands on legs! It is called El Tió de Nadal.
The log is kept covered with a red cloth and is looked after like a pet until Christmas Day. Children make sure that he is kept warmly covered and pretend to feed him every day, just like feeding a doll.

Then, on Christmas Day, children have fun hitting the log with a stick whilst singing a traditional song.
Why do they hit the log?
Well, to make it produce little gifts!
After singing the song and hitting the log with a stick, they put their hands under the cover to see if the log has produced anything. (When children aren’t looking, grown-ups place the gifts under the cover!)
Children keep singing songs and hitting the log to have more goodies. Eventually, when they can only find something like an onion or garlic, it means that the gifts have run out and the game is over!

Casella 3
During Winter, many of the European countries will have snowfall. Children will then have lots of fun building snowmen and decorating them with Winter clothing, vegetables and coal.

Casella 1
Here is a traditional Advent calendar which we use to countdown to Christmas.
