Car park concern shifts
• By Caitlin Miles
VERNON TCE residents
fear they will lose off-street
car parks if yellow lines are
installed on Rapaki Rd.
More than two thirds of
submitters supported the
city council’s plan to install no
parking lines along Rapaki Rd
and part of Montgomery Tce.
The city council received 93
submissions on the plans to
restrict parking, 66 supported
the idea, 24 were against
and three submissions were
unclear.
Thirty of those submissions,
both for and against the
parking restrictions, were concerned
over the impact on the
surrounding streets, namely
Vernon Tce.
Rapaki Rd is the main
access way to Rapaki Track,
which is popular with walkers,
runners and mountain bikers,
especially on the weekends.
One submitter opposed the
plans because Vernon Tce is
“already dangerously congested”
and banning parking
on Rapaki Rd will only add to
the congestion.

A Vernon Tce resident
said they were “terrified
that restrictions proposed
on Rapaki Rd will have an
extremely detrimental effect
on traffic, congestion, parking
and safety on Vernon Tce,”
and opposed the parking
ban unless more parking is
provided elsewhere.
Another submitter supports
the city council’s plan but
said they want Vernon Tce
included before the plans are
approved.

WHAT MAY be Rapaki Rd
residents’ gain, appears to be
Vernon Tce residents’ loss.
People running and walking
the Rapaki Track area have long
been a source of pain for residents
who live along that very well used
stretch of tarmac.
That’s because Rapaki residents
have difficulty getting in and out
of their driveways, and fear hitting
cyclists.
Yellow no parking lines might
be painted in Rapaki Rd (see our
page 1 story) to solve the problem.
But nearby Vernon Tce residents
believe they will take the brunt of
the runners and walkers who will
go there and clog up their road.
We’ll keep you posted.

Build your next home
with Artisan Homes
Your local registered Master Builder
Home building is as much about understanding the
landscape and the client as it is the plan and the
materials. From our office in Rolleston, Canterbury our
small company has built a huge range of homes that are
distinctive, stylish, durable and cost-effective.
From clever, compact homes to three bedroom townhouses
to large scale, expansive country style homes, our work
spans all types of house building.
Since 2004 we have carefully built, among other things, a
reputation for constructing high quality houses.
An artisan is someone who is highly skilled in a particular
expertise, a hands-on craftsman – someone who is
passionate about the quality results they produce.
With decades in the business the team at Artisian Homes
have worked in all areas of residential construction. There
are obvious differences between building a two-bedroom
home compared to a six bedroom one. Irrespective, our
overall approach remains the same.
While we have a sound reputation for carefully crafted
home building we also are renowned for getting the right
result no matter what the challenge. Building with difficult
access, looming timelines or tight budgets is just a fact of
life for us. All our tradespeople are qualified and registered
or licensed. Our abilities to design and build a range of
houses have increased over the years, as has our skill and
overall capacity. While we don’t have the franchises of our
larger competitors we do have their networks and buying
power. Which means our clients receive the most costeffective
results possible.
At Artisan Homes, our passion is building homes for
people who appreciate the work that goes into what will,
ultimately, be a home they love to live in.

Cafe fears parking loss
• By Caitlin Miles
A SELWYN St shop owner said
her business will suffer if the
city council removes car parks
outside her cafe in favour of
cycleways.
Sarah Lim and her husband,
Cham Chap, opened their
cafe, Pies and Coffee, in May
last year and have opposed the
Selwyn St shop upgrade plans,
which involve removing 19 car
parks to put in cycleways.
Ms Lim said it was hard
enough keeping a new business
running and, if car parks are
removed outside their shop
front, they will struggle more
as their cafe will no longer be
convenient for people passing
through.
“It will be a big loss for us if
they take our parking, people
have said they will no longer
stop,” Ms Lim said.
The Selwyn St shop upgrade
plan involves removing
car parks to put cycleways
down both sides of Selwyn
St, between Brougham and
Coronation Sts.
Other plans for the upgrade
include narrowing Coronation
St where it intersects with

Selwyn St to slow traffic

Rosewarne St and Somerset
Cres will also be effected by the
plan changes.
The city council said the
plans will create a “village feel”
for the road.
The original Selwyn St shops
suffered considerable damage in
the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes
and about 60 per cent of the
buildings were lost or unusable.
A master plan for the
new shops was signed off in
July 2012, with the aim of
rejuvenating the area.

said the loss of car parking will

and she wanted the city council
to think of other options.
“I think the council need to
look at other ways of creating a
village feel without taking car
parks way from businesses,” Dr
Woods said.
The city council project
team is currently going
through feedback received
from consultation to present
to the Spreydon-Cashmere
Community Board in February.

Caring for TurTles
Foot injury needing veterinary attention.
Turtle Facts:
Turtles are not your average pets. They
are fascinating creatures that aren’t
particularly complicated to care for as
long as you invest a little time and have
the right equipment, you can enjoy them
for a possible 25 to 40 years!
Pet turtles in NZ are usually red-eared
sliders or snake necks. Turtles are cold
blooded so regulate their temperature
from their environment, moving between
sunning area and the layers of warm and
cool water.
Turtles have hard shells made up of
around 60 bones covered by plates called
scutes. Scutes are shed once or twice
a year and can be easily scratched by
minor trauma or softened by prolonged
immersion in warm water. When they
bask in the sun, their scutes dry and firm
back up.
The shell is part of its skeleton which is
attached to the spine and the rib cage
so they can’t crawl out of it. They can feel
pressure and pain through their shells,
just as you can feel pressure through your
fingernails.
Enviroment
Turtles can grow to be 13-28cm in
length so they will need a relatively large
enclosure. An outdoor enclosure is the
best place for your turtles – one with
water to swim, rocks to sunbathe on and
some shelter under which to keep cool.
If you are going to keep your turtle in an
aquarium, it is very important to keep
it clean. Turtles are messy eaters so the
water needs to be changed regularly &
good filter is essential.
Plenty of natural light is good, but they
also need special UV bulbs and a
heat lamp. A full spectrum UVA/
UVB reptile light is necessary for
the production of calcium and
maintenance of the hardness of
their shells. The ideal temperature
in an aquarium should be carefully
monitored and in the correct range.
Gravel is not necessary, and very
small gravel can be ingested by your
turtle and this can cause blockage
problems. Use stones that are large
enough not to be swallowed or river
rocks.
Diet
A healthy, balanced diet for turtles consists
of a wide variety of foods, from snails to
alfalfa. Red-eared turtles are omnivores,
eating mostly meat when young and
becoming vegetarian as they age and
need less protein. Juveniles turtles (up to
1yr old) should be fed twice a day and
adults every second day. They can only
feed in water.
Turtles like to eat worms, snails, insects,
fish and boiled chicken. The plants they
prefer include most varieties found in
tropical fish tanks, plus lettuce, cabbage,
alfalfa, and berries. Turtle food bought
from a pet shop contains essential
vitamins and minerals including calcium,
which is needed for the development of
the shell. A poor diet results in a soft shell
and a lethargic pet.
Do not feed - Red meat or processed
meat. Cat or dog food, avocado, spinach,
silverbeet, peas, corn, cauliflower,
cabbage, broccoli, fruits, raw chicken,
rhubarb, beetroot, tomato, celery
Turtle Problems
If your Turtle has the correct diet and
environment it is unlikely to get ill or have
problems but there are a few things to
look out for.
These include: Soft shell syndrome
(Metabolic Bone Disease): a result of poor
diet and/or insufficient lighting. Fungal
infections: a cotton-like layer on the shell,
eyes or mouth. Respiratory infections:
Wheezing, lethargy, a runny nose and loss
of appetite, all due to an environment that
is too cold.
If you see any of these symptoms in your
pet, make sure you take them to us for
assessment and treatment.
I really enjoy looking after the turtles that
come through our vet clinic. They are
beautiful, amazing and resilient creatures.
There is never a dull moment at work and
you never know what creatures we will
treat next!

This week’s
opinion
piece was
written by
retiring City
Missioner
Michael Gorman
about not losing sight
of what Christmas
really means
For most of us Christmas
is a time of great
happiness.
Children are excited
as they receive gifts and
we use the time to get together
as families and with
friends to celebrate.
For some people, this
time of year also has great
religious significance as we
recall the birth of Jesus.
Whatever our belief, it is
a time to get together with
those we love and enjoy
ourselves.
Not everyone has good
reason to celebrate.
For some people, Christmas
reminds them of happier
days long gone.
Days when, for example,
they were not fighting addiction,
had not suffered
loss and separation and
were not unemployed and
living in poverty.
Christmas can be a time
of great loneliness if there
has been death or family
separation.
Many old people are
forgotten in the busy
Christmas rush.
Christmas can also be a
time of over spending.
We all want to give as
much as we can to our
children and to those we
love.
We are often seduced by
advertising and easy credit
into buying goods that we
cannot afford and we are
then in debt for much of
the next year.
While not wanting to
be the Grinch who stole
Christmas, maybe we
should cut back our spending
to what we can afford.
Homemade gifts or offers
to help out during the
year are just as acceptable
as expensive presents and
still tell people we love
them.
Remembering the lonely
and being aware of the
need to include them in
our celebrations and giving
people our time may
be the very best gift. And,
if it is safe to do so, then
Christmas may be the time
for family reconciliation.
Even if Christmas has no
religious meaning for us
we can still give love – the
greatest gift of all.

Cuddly Coachy gets VIP care
• By Caitlin Miles
WHEN PET Doctors
Barrington met Coachy, the
worse for wear Waiau Lodge
Hotel cat, they decided to treat
her for free.
The hotel was badly damaged
following the November 14,
7.8 magnitude earthquake and
Coachy went missing, turning
up five days later looking uncomfortable.
Somerfield resident Carl Wadham
was retrieving a jukebox
and a pool table in the hotel
when he spotted Coachy.
A cat lover, he wanted to make
sure she could get some help and

asked Pet Doctors Barrington to
have a look at her.
“I decided to call the vet in
Christchurch and see if they
would help the cat,” he said.
Team leader Emily Coulter
said they had planned to just
look after her, but when the
team met her and found how
much they liked Coachy they
decided to take a closer look at
her.
Coachy was X-rayed and while
she had no broken bones, her
teeth “weren’t in the best shape”.
The vets performed dental surgery,
administered antibiotics
and kept her for two weeks.
“She was a typical pub cat, just
wanted cuddles from everyone
and she was quite a vocal cat,
but really nice,” Ms Coulter said.
She said the bill would have
run into several hundred dollars
but since they volunteered to do
it, it was free.
“We just volunteered our own
time, like our lunch breaks and
that so we could get her fixed
up,” she said.
When the vets cleared her to
go Mr Wadham took her back
to Waiau much to the joy of her
owners.
“They were very happy to have
her back,” he said.

Lawrence at Barrington Pet Doctors.

•From page 1
If the city council proceeds
with plans as they are, parking
restrictions would run along
the left side of Rapaki Rd from
Centaurus Rd to Montgomery
Tce, and on the right hand
side on the top stretch of the
road.
Montgomery Tce would also
have restrictions on the left
hand side of the road leading to
Erewhon Tce.
Fourteen submissions also
raised concerns about where
residents with no off-street
parking would park, suggesting
“residents only” parking permits
for sections of the road affected
by the proposal.
The matter will go to the
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board in February to be
discussed.

Tasman Gillies
Environmentalist follows in the
Tasman Gillies, 27 of Ngāi Tahu (Ngāti Wheke), is a third
generation tāngata tiaki and guardian of Lyttelton Harbour.
Annabelle Dick talked to him about his work and how he
almost followed a completely different career path
You work for Ngāi Tahu, can
you tell me about what you do?
I’m an environmental advisor
– mahinga kai monitoring and
enhancement for Ngāi Tahu.
You’re also tāngata tiaki –
what does that mean and what
do you do in that role?
Tāngata tiaki are guardians
responsible for managing fisheries
resources. In regards to
my role as tāngata tiaki, it’s an
ongoing thing. It’s the legislative
side so it’s a ministerial appointment.
Effectively we manage
the mātaitai (an identified
traditional fishing ground with
special status) and issue customary
fishing permits for the ngāti
wheke area. In the harbour, ngāti
wheke is a representative on the
Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Catchment
Management Plan so I’m
the science advisor for that.
You’re a third generation
tāngata tiaki, can you tell me
about your family and their
involvement?
My pōua was involved in
the establishment of the first
mataitai reserve at Rapaki. The
whole purpose is a recognition
of rangatiratanga and the
relationship with the traditional
fishing grounds and customary
fishing management within the
mataitai. They were made the
first ever tāngata tiaki.
Did having the family connection
prompt you to follow it
as a career?
It definitely influenced it, but I
didn’t go to university intending
to study it or come out involved
in this area. My Dad’s a GP so
I went down to study medicine
and in the first year I knew it
wasn’t for me. I’m not sure if I
would’ve got into my second
year, but regardless, I didn’t want
to do it. Funnily enough, I told
my dad and he laughed and said
“good, because I didn’t think
you wanted to do it, but I didn’t
want to influence your decision.”
I laugh at that because I could’ve
saved myself a year but, at the
same time, I had to realise it.
I changed course and ended
up gravitating towards marine
LEGACY: Tasman Gillies is continuing his family legacy as a
third generation tangata tiaki.

science and work associated with
mahinga kai.
Did you learn a lot about your
family in the process?
Yes. You start to run into
people that used to know my
pōua and talk to them. The
people I work with now at Ngāi
Tahu worked with him when
he was alive and, being an iwi,
some of them are related to him
as well so you hear stories. You
definitely learn the technical
things like dates and specific
legislative parts and what
mātaitai is and taiapure.
Considering the involvement
your pōua had, do you feel any
pressure to live up to his name?
Not at all – if anything it’s
more understanding about what
he wanted. The process that him
and Henry Couch were involved
with, and what they did to get
the mātaitai in place, it was a
lengthy process. For me, it’s
about understanding what he
wanted to achieve because Ngāi
Tahu always uses the saying
“Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri, ā muri
ake ne,” which means “for us
and our children after us.” It’s a
pretty straightforward concept.
Knowing my pōua was involved
in that whole process, and being
third generation tāngata tiaki, it’s
quite a literal thing for me. In his
mind, he wanted to sustain the
fisheries and have management
over it so our generation could
too. It comes back to the concept
of kaitiakitanga, or kaitiaki,
which means guardianship
or stewardship over the
environment. Ngāti Wheke
is my hapu, so that’s Rāpaki.
Our area is Lyttelton Harbour
or Whakaraupo and because
I whakapapa back to there,
kaitiaki or guardianship is also
a responsibility – so our world
view is we have a responsibility
to take care of it as well.

footsteps of his ancestors
HOME: Tasman Gillies is at home in the harbour.
Being tāngata tiaki is not so
much about continuing his
legacy – it’s more what I should
be doing anyway. The kaitiaki
concept isn’t exclusive to Maori,
I think people should have a responsibility
towards the environment
and take care of it because
we’re being trusted to take care
of it while we’re here for future
generations.
Did you grow up at Rāpaki?
We moved to Rāpaki when I
was nine. I was born in Australia
and lived in a little town called
Alstonville near Byron Bay. Both
of my parents are Kiwi and I
have two older sisters. We kind
of grew up in the bush – we
lived in a big valley and the next
neighbour was a kilometre away
so we had all the room to play
around but we had to be careful
because it was Aussie. We knew
we were Maori but, in Australia,
we were absent from the culture
in a sense. When I moved here, it
was a big learning curve. I think
that was why our parents wanted
us to move back to see those
things.
What does your family do?
My mum and dad still live
in Rāpaki – he’s a doctor. My
sister works for the Ministry of
Education, but she was previously
a Maori teacher at Lincoln
High School. My other sister is a
dentist in Masterton.
What was it like moving to
Rāpaki?
It was a shock initially. You
can know you’re Maori but then
someone goes “oh you’re Maori,
do you want to be in the Kapa
Haka group?” I didn’t even know
what that was. People look at
you funny because they know
things about your culture that
you don’t. But in saying that, my
sister became a Maori teacher.
It’s been a massive learning
curve but also a really good one.
It’s more than the acknowledgement
I’m Maori now. Now I’m
part of it.
Where did you go to school?
I went to Lyttelton West then
Cashmere High School.
I heard you were head boy,
too? You kept that one quiet.
Yeah I was . . . that was a laugh.
Do you have any hidden
talents?
I won the dance competition
at the work Christmas function
out of like 300 people. I don’t
know what kind of dancing I
was doing and when and where I
picked it up . . . I just free-styled.
I think I picked it up from those
Step Up films from years ago. I
was dressed as The Wiggles with
a few of the guys from work.
What do you do for fun?
I love surfing and skiing and I
used to do waka ama, too, which
is outrigger canoeing.
Have you travelled overseas?
In 2014, after I had submitted
my masters thesis, I went to
Canada. I lived in Whistler for a
year working at the bar and on
the mountain and just skied and
had fun. I had a good time and,
by the end of the year, I came
back wanting to make use of my
degree and be more involved in
something besides living paycheck
to paycheck.
Were there any bear encounters?
Yeah, walking through the
village early morning and I was
still quite tired and went through
the forest section in the valley.
I looked up and there’s a beer
standing just in front of me. He
didn’t really care so I just turned
around cause I didn’t want to
deal with it. You get them everywhere.
They’re quite clever so a
lot of the door handles are knobs
because they know how to open
the levers. Stuff like that I wasn’t
used to. The raccoons were
hilarious but they’re the weirdest
creatures that waddle around.

Boosting whitebait numbers
across the city’s waterways
• By Caitlin Miles
Tuesday December 20 2016
VOLUNTEERS were recognised
for spending 400 hours helping
to get whitebait back into the
Heathcote as a citywide project
comes to an end.
Cassels and Sons Brewery
hosted an event on behalf of the
Whaka Inaka project to thank
all of the people who helped get
whitebait numbers up as part of
the project.
The project was started at the
end of 2015 by Canterbury University’s
Shane Orchard and EOS
Ecology with the hope of finding
suitable locations for whitebait to
spawn and raise the level of fish in
the Heathcote River, Steamwharf
Stream and Lake Kate Sheppard.
Over the course of the project,
volunteers and school pupils put
in about 400 hours of work to
triple the number of whitebait in
the Heathcote River.
EOS Ecology environmental
scientist Kirsty Brennan said it
had been rewarding to see so
many members of the community
wanting to learn and help.
“It was great seeing the
excitement on people’s faces . . .
getting the community engaged
has been really important,” Ms
NEW HABITAT: The volunteers installed straw bales, which help
whitebait to spawn, along Steamwharf Stream as part of the
Whaka Inaka project.

Brennan said.
The school children spent time
learning about life cycles, habitats
and threats to whitebait, as well
as assessing spawning grounds
along the waterways. Some
schools kept whitebait in the
classroom to watch them develop
over time.
Recently, EOS hosted an Inanga
(whitebait) Celebration Day
where schools went down to part
of the Heathcote River in Hansen
Park to release their whitebait
back into the river.
This project was funded by the
Department of Conservation,
the Brian Mason Trust and
contributions from local
businesses.
FreshChoice, SuperValue
give back to community
THIS Christmas, FreshChoice
and SuperValue supermarkets
are encouraging customers
to give back to their local
community.
Give Local allows customers
to donate non-perishable food
items and health products to
those in need.
Specially-marked food collection
trolleys are in place
now at every FreshChoice and
SuperValue store throughout
New Zealand until New Year’s
Day.
All items collected are destined
to support local charities,
such as the Salvation Army,
community food banks and
community-led food collections
from organisations like
the Lions Club.
Christchurch-based
FreshChoice and SuperValue
brands manager Liz de Lange
said: “We encourage customers
to look at what they are able
to afford and pop a few extra
items in their trolley to give to
the local charity.”
The supermarkets are
also collecting for the Red
Cross’s earthquake appeal
at all checkouts. Collections
have been started by a
$5000 donation from the
supermarket group.

Technology boost for pupils
THREE SCHOOLS in the
Southern View area took
advantage of a technology
workshop at St Margaret’s
College recently, learning how
to build robots and skills for the
future.
Pupils from Te Whanau
Tahi, Rowley Ave School and
Te Waka Unua came together
to experience robotics, 3D
design and printing, coding and
makerspace.
The aim of the event was
to provide pupils with an
opportunity to be exposed to
a range of technology projects
that allowed the development
of personal as well as technical
skills.
St Margaret’s wants to
provide ongoing workshops
and programmes for students
and teachers from other
Christchurch and Canterbury
schools.

Funding for Rio ‘baby’
SPORTS
HIGH PERFORMANCE Sport
New Zealand has committed to a
two-year investment in Halswell
gymnast Courtney McGregor.
The 18-year-old

ARE ON THE
of the Olympic team in Rio,
where she finished 13th in her
specialty apparatus of vault.
“As far as we are aware, Courtney
is the first artistic gymnast
to be funded by HPSNZ. This
is a great achievement
MOVE

AGAIN...
Courtney and for the sport of
gymnastics in New Zealand,”
said GymSports NZ chief executive
Tony Compier.
HPSNZ is hoping to see Mc-
Gregor grow on her performance
at Rio, with an eye toward the
2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
McGregor is now a student
athlete in the United States at
Boise State University and is on
a four-year scholarship under
head coaches Tina Bird and Neil
Resnick. The two led the college
team to a record 15-meet unbeaten
regular season last year.
“I’m learning so much here
at Boise and to know that my
hard work and goals are being
recognised and supported from
home is fantastic. It also helps to
justify all the time and money
that my parents have invested
in my gymnastics over the years
to get me here. I’m stoked,” said
McGregor.
She is at her family home in
Halswell for Christmas and will
return to Boise in the new year.

Food business focuses on
healthy choices
Their experiences on New Zealand
reality TV show MKR was the catalyst for
two Christchurch women, Ricki and Jessie,
to start their own food business – with the
focus firmly on healthy eating.
The pair spent many hours spent tasting,
testing and developing a series of healthy,
nutritionally balanced salads before
launching Healthkicks in April 2015.
“We wanted to provide healthy
options for everyday people,” says Ricki.
“Everyone’s busy these days and as a result
they sometimes find it quicker and easier
to get fast foods, which are often unhealthy.
We wanted to change that culture and offer
healthier options.”
Their selection of fresh, tasty salads
can be purchased in takeaway containers,
which hold a generous portion of up to
500 grams for $10. The salads can also be
vacuum-packed, so they will last longer in
the fridge. Those without lettuce can be
served hot or cold.
They are also available as platters to
serve at parties and barbeques, and with
Christmas Day and other festive occasions
coming up, these would be ideal, Ricki says.
They are delivered in vacuum packs for
easy storage. And as a healthy sweet treat
for ‘afters’, Healthkicks has the delicious
snickers slice.
Items are ordered through the website,
healthkicks.nz, with free delivery available
throughout the Christchurch area –
minimum purchase $30. Orders placed by
6pm will be delivered the following day,
Monday to Friday.
“We are finding that customers are
ordering a week’s worth of salads on a
Monday so they are set up for the week,”
says Ricki. “Our food speaks for itself. As
well as vegetables and proteins it contains
healthy carbs, so it keeps you full.”
Healthkicks also has a shop in
Avonhead, at 104 Staveley Street, phone
342 9541, where customers can purchase
items or pick up their orders. Business
hours are Monday 9am-1.30pm, Tuesday
to Friday, 6.30am-1.30pm.

REAL ESTATE
An Empty Nest
130 Hackthorne Road, Cashmere
6 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office | 1 swimming pool | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # BE192731
With the family having left home this
magnificent home is now simply too big
for the vendor. Quintessentially Cashmere
this superb home with sweeping views and
all day sun will please the most discerning
buyer. A superbly designed extension by
Sheppard and Rout has resulted in a six
bedroom, four bathroom, three living
room home retaining the style and charm
of its history whist giving the benefit of
modern day living. Step into the large
elegant entranceway and on into the large
family kitchen and dining room area
featuring beautiful timber floors and then
through to the family room. A large formal
wood panelled lounge is a wonderful
space to perhaps achieve a quiet area from
the bustle of family life. The adjoining
conservatory can also double as room
for teenagers, being big enough to take a
table tennis table. A media room complete
with speakers, projector and screen is a
great place to entertain family and friends,
perhaps after a bbq and swim in the heated
inground pool. But perhaps the real
surprise lies at the top of the house. Here
is a purpose-built workspace, generous
in size and ideal for those who wish to
work from home. There is room for three
people to comfortably work plus storage
space for samples or stock. Attention to
detail continues even into laundry and a
refrigerated cool room. The large private
grounds are a joy for the gardener with
expansive lawns and well established trees
and shrubs. You can sit on the deck and
admire your garden in these long summer
days to come. There is so much to see in
the house - call now to view your new
home.

Christmas
Church

Christmas – a time for
celebration & worship
Christmas Day is a holy day
for Christians who mark the 25
December as the birth of Christ. They
come together in prayer and song,
heralding the coming of Jesus, the son
of God.
Leading up to Christmas day is the
period of advent. It begins on the
Sunday closest to the 30 November,
with the advent calendar counting
down the days to Christmas while the
advent wreath contains five candles
representing the Sundays before the
special day and one for Christmas
Day.
Joseph, a carpenter and Mary
had been travelling 90 miles from
Nazareth to Bethlehem; as Joseph was
required to participate in a Census
where the Roman rulers counted
the number of Jewish people for tax
purposes.
Heavily pregnant Mary had been
riding on a donkey. She gave birth in
a cave stable where they slept with
the animals due to there being no
room at the inn. The nativity scene
shows Jesus lying in a manger in the
stable; often re-enacted by children as
part of church services leading up to
Christmas Day with some churches
even having live animals as part of
this service.
A bright Star signalled the coming
of Christ and guided wise men who
took gifts of gold, frankincense
and myrrh to the new born while
shepherds were led there by an angel.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
services are a time for rejoicing the
birth of Christ when carols are sung
and there is much happiness.
We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy hoildays
