Nativity of our Lord
THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD
Finally, the Nativity of Christ! There is so much to do!
Home Activities:
- Be sure to decorate the icon of the feast for your icon corner.
- There are also puzzles and a diorama to color and cut out.
- Decorate the tree with ornaments and paper chains.
- Hang your stained glass icon in the window.
- Have a birthday cake for Jesus.
- Review the Christmas greeting, “Christ is born!” and the response, “Glorify Him!”
- Sing the Troparion: “Thy Nativity”.
- You can make crèche scenes out of the strangest things at home – pine cone people, toilet paper tube people, spoon people, etc. Be sure to have a crèche at home to review the story; before Christmas, Mary and Joseph can slowly move around the room toward the stable.
Prayer: Lord, may you come in our hearts as you came on earth as a little child.
