ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF OUR CHRISTIAN HOLIDAYS
EPIPHANY
A few astrologers (maybe three) saw an unusual star and traveled to Bethlehem to bring the newborn Jesus gifts. This is a holiday in many South- European countries.
ASCENSION DAY | THE THURSDAY 40 DAYS AFTER EASTER
On this day the worldwide christian church commemorates the Ascension of Jesus into heaven after he was resurrected 40 days earlier.
EASTER
The most important of church celebrations. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead is commemorated on this day.
LENT
The season of Lent is about 40 days from Carnaval until Easter. It’s the period of forty days of reflection, looking forward to Jesus’ death and resurrection.
God has done so many great things in my life. He has helped me through tough times and answered so many prayers - even the small everyday things. At times when I have been greatly stressed I learnt to give all my worry over to him and as a result felt complete peace and joy in the midst of all that was going on - and that is simply incredible!
