1. Оргмомент
Good morning! Today we’ll speak about the main Christian festivals of the year, Easter.What is Easter? Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and a time for giving chocolate Easter eggs. But Easter means much more…
2. Презентация проекта “ Holy Week in Great Britain”
What is the Easter story? Easter is the story of Jesus' last days in Jerusalem before his death. It is a sad story because Jesus was killed. But the story has a very happy ending, because Jesus came back to life and visited his friends and followers once more. He did not die at all, but went back up to Heaven to be with God, his father.
What is Holy week? Holy Week is the week before Easter, commemorating events in the last days of Jesus' life on Earth. It begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Monday. Special Days in Holy Week:
- Palm Sunday
- Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday)
- Good Friday (Holy Friday)
- Holy Saturday
The Sunday before Easter is known as Palm Sunday. It celebrates Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. Great crowds of people lined the streets waving palm branches to welcome him. The people were very excited. They shouted 'Hosanna!' which means 'Save us Now!'
On Palm Sunday, children are given crosses made from single palm leaves. Traditionally, many churches will have a procession in or around the church while people sing songs of praise and wave palm leaves. This is to help them imagine what Jesus' entry into Jerusalem might have been like.
Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday).On this day, Christians remember the Last Supper. During the meal Jesus took bread and wine and shared them with his disciples. Christians continue to share bread and wine as part of their worship in church. Jesus Christ, at the Last Supper, commanded: 'And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.' John 13:34. The night of Maundy Thursday is the night on which Jesus was betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane.
What is Good Friday? On Good Friday, Christians remember the day when Jesus was crucified on a cross. Jesus was arrested and was tried in a mock trial. He was handed over to the Roman soldiers to be beaten and flogged with whips. A crown of long, sharp thorns was thrust upon his head. Jesus was nailed to the cross. Two other criminals were crucified with him, their crosses.
Good Friday today is a public holiday in much of the UK. This day is special for all of Chrisitians.
Fasting: Some Christians fast (go without food) on Good Friday.
Procession: Some Christians take part in a procession of witness, carrying a cross through the streets and then into church.
Special Church Service: Many churches hold a special service. This may be a communion service in the evening or a time of prayer during the day, especially around 3 o'clock as that is about the time of day when Jesus died. Churches are not decorated on Good Friday. In some churches, pictures and statues are covered over. It is seen as a time of mourning.
Traditional Food: It is traditional to eat warm 'hot cross buns' on Good Friday. Hot Cross Buns with their combination of spicy, sweet and fruity flavours have long been an Easter tradition.
What is Holy Saturday? It is the Saturday before Easter, the last day of Lent and is the day when Christ's body lay in His Tomb. In the early church Holy Saturday was a day of fasting and preparation for the Easter Vigil.
