Advent 2011 (Day 4, Nov. 30th)...

Symbol: Chi Rho cross (X-mas)

Bible Verse: (Luke 1:30-33) But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

Discuss: Why would people want to take Christ out of Christmas? How can our family be sure
to keep Christ in all the celebrations?

Our actvities: Learn about the Chi Rho cross. Make and decorate a Chi Rho cross for the mantle or Christmas tree.

Homeschool activities: Learn to write/say the Greek alphabet and learn about how people in Greece celebrate Christmas here and here.
