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