We started this topic by thinking about the Liturgical Year, its colours, and symbols and which parts of Jesus’ life they celebrate.

We spent some time researching how Christians in other countries celebrate Christmas and found out about Los Postades,  the African custom of drums and the Irish Custom of lighting a candle in the window,

African Tradition of Drums

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Irish Tradition of Lighting a Candle in the Window
 

We also looked at photographs and pictures of people gathered together for family occasions and thought about what was happening in the photographs, who were gathered together, and for what reason.

We used these symbols to draw pictures for Baptism cards,
