Christmas Novena For Home or Classroom

Product Description

During Advent, we prepare to celebrate Christmas - Jesus' birth. We take this time to prepare in a special way to welcome Jesus into our hearts and into our lives. This short novena is meant to help your child, and even you, 'build' a Christmas crib. Each day there is a suggestion for the practice of a virtue which is symbolic of some part of the Christmas scene. The Christmas event can take on a special meaning for children when they become actively involved in the preparation. We recommend, then, that the children themselves read the various parts of the novena celbration. The short song for each day can be sung to the melody of 'On Jordan's Bank' or any other tune with the same meter. The illustrations may be colored by the child. - Daughters of St. Paul
