Many children do not know that there are some events behind the holidays that they love so much. This is especially true for religious holidays. Therefore, the child needs to talk not only about how you will celebrate this or that holiday, but also in simple, accessible language to talk about the reasons for its appearance. We'll show you how to do this with the example of Christmas.
Instructions
Step 1
To make your story interesting and exciting for the kid, download and print a map of ancient Palestine from the Internet. Show him the outlines of ancient states and tell what people inhabited them.
Step 2
If your child is not yet familiar with the concept of God, tell him about him. You may need to read a few chapters from the Children's Bible to make this language understandable for the child.
Step 3
Tell us that according to an ancient legend, God the Father sent his son Jesus Christ to earth to save all people from destruction. The Holy Spirit descended to the girl from Nazareth, Mary, and she gave birth to a baby who was the Son of God. His birthday is celebrated throughout the world as a bright and joyful holiday of Holy Christmas.
Step 4
Give your child a present and tell them that as a sign of hope for a new, happy life, people have a tradition to give each other gifts on this day and wish everyone happiness and prosperity.
Step 5
Take him to the tree and show the star at its top. Tell your child that this star is also associated with the Nativity of Christ and symbolizes the star that appeared in the sky at the hour when Jesus Christ was born.
Step 6
Tell your child about other Christmas traditions, such as fortune telling on Christmas night. It is believed that on this night you can see your future. Give an example of girlish fortune telling girls do to find out the name of their future husband.
Step 7
Signs are a kind of Christmas fortune telling. Tell us a few Christmas signs. Here is one of them - if it snows on Christmas night, the summer will be warm and fruitful.
