For about two thousand years this holiday has been celebrated by millions of people of the same faith in different countries. Orthodox Christmas in Russia is celebrated on the night of January 7th.

Christmas is called "the mother of all holidays" The birth of Jesus Christ - the son of God - begins his earthly life, his suffering and Resurrection. The significance of this holy night is very great for all people on earth. Because he came to save us all!

2000 years ago, an unprecedented event took place in the small town of Bethlehem - the Son of God was born. He was born outside the city, in a cave and was placed in a manger where they put food for animals.

The first guests of the divine baby were simple shepherds, to whom the Angel announced the Nativity of Christ: “I announce to you a great joy that will be for all people: the Savior, Who is Christ the Lord, was born in the city of David! And here is a sign for you: you will find the Baby in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. The shepherds were the first to hasten to bow to the newborn Savior.

At this time, with gifts to the King of the World, the wise men came from the east (the wise men are the ancient sages). They knew and expected that the great King of the World would soon come to earth, and a wonderful star showed them the way to Jerusalem.

The Magi brought gifts to the Child. Star And there was a miracle on earth And a miracle in the heavens: Like the sun, a star flared up in the rays in the midnight haze. She floated over the world of tears And her light shone... And she told the poor shepherds that Christ was born. And in Bethlehem the Magi carried their Gifts behind her, And on the straw there they found the King of Kings.

presentation "Christmas"

Every time we cross the threshold of the New Year, the soul becomes especially warm, because in a few days the Christmas Holiday will come! Christmas is an amazing time...




There was silence. Israel The people of God slept. Only a few shepherds in the field guarded the sheep. Suddenly, a bright light shone around. They were scared, horrified. “Do not be afraid,” the angel said to them, I proclaim to you great joy that will be for all people, for today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, has been born to you in the city of David.






The Jews had a custom to conduct national censuses by tribes, tribes and clans; every tribe and clan had its specific cities and ancestral places, therefore the Blessed Virgin and righteous Joseph, as descended from the family of David, had to go to Bethlehem (the city of David) in order to add their names to the list of Caesar's subjects.


In Bethlehem, they did not find a single free place in the city hotels. In a limestone cave intended for a stall, among hay and straw scattered for feed and bedding for livestock, among strangers, in an environment devoid of not only earthly grandeur, but even ordinary convenience, the God-man, the Savior of the world, was born.

Text for the presentation « Children about Christmas» .

Guys, after the New Year in January there is another holiday. Who knows what? Yes it Christmas. About this holiday and today will be a story.

E. Koroleva's song sounds "Glorious night Christmas» .

The teacher's story: Word « Christmas» stands for "day birth» . When is your day birth, you and all your loved ones rejoice. But once on Earth was born baby, which very, very many people rejoiced at, because it was God. And it was like that. A long time ago, in a far eastern country, there lived three wise astrologers. They were called "Magi". They knew from their books that someday God would be born on earth. And so that all people can know when this will happen, a new star will appear in the sky. And so the magicians looked into the sky every night, they knew every star. But one day they saw a new extraordinary star. She was bigger and brighter than all the others. And, lo and behold, she did not stand still, but floated across the sky, as if inviting to follow her. (Frame 2). And the Magi set out on their journey to see God with their own eyes. In those days, there were no cars, let alone planes. The Magi equipped their camels and set off on the road. Their path was hard and long. But the star led them, and if the Magi got tired, she stopped to give them rest. (Frames 3-5).

Meanwhile, in the country of Judea, the formidable King Herod decided to find out how many people live in his country, how many people are subject to him. To avoid confusion, Herod ordered everyone to come to the city where they were born. The young woman Mary also went to her hometown of Bethlehem. It was difficult for her to walk, because her baby was soon to be born, but it was impossible not to fulfill the order of the king. (Frame 6). In the city of Bethlehem, a multitude of people had gathered, all the hotels, all the inns were occupied. Mary and her companion Joseph went from house to house, but no one gave them a place to sleep. (Frames 7-8).

Question children: Do you guys think it was possible to somehow help Maria? Or is there nothing you can do, since there is no place?

Suggested Answer children: Someone could make way for her.

caregiver: Of course, guys, strong young men could give her their place. And any kind person could do it. But the trouble is, in the whole city there was not a single kind person. All people were evil. That is why God himself came to earth to cure people of malice, greed, and envy.

Question: And what words close in meaning can be found to the word "wicked"?

Answers children: Bad, bad, angry, unkind, unfit.

caregiver A: Right guys. But there is one more word - "hard-hearted". This means that the heart of a person is hard as a stone. A stone does not feel anything, and the heart sometimes does not feel the pain or grief of another person. But I don't even want to talk about them. Let's better choose words that are suitable in meaning to the word "Kind".

Answers children: Good, gentle, affectionate.

(Often children by the way "Kind" choose a synonym "Beautiful". Here it is appropriate to recall fairy tale for children"Dead Princess" Pushkin or a fairy tale "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs". In these tales, the stepmother was very beautiful and very evil. You can also remember the story "The Scarlet Flower" Aksakov or cartoon "The beauty and the Beast", where the positive character turned out to be in the form of a monster.)

caregiver: Also, guys, there are such good words: "kind-hearted", "sensitive". What do you think about a good or evil person say: "Does he have a heart of gold?" Why?

Answers waiting.

caregiver: Indeed, gold is a jewel. A good heart is also dearly valued by people, dearer than the beauty of a face. There is no such expression "golden face". About skillful people say: "skillful fingers", about smart - "gold head". About good - "gold man", "Golden heart", and here "golden face" they don't talk about anyone.

But let's go back to the city of Bethlehem. Poor Mary, finding no shelter, left the city. She took refuge in a poor cave (on ancient the language of the cave was called "nativity scene" where the shepherds took shelter from the weather along with their flocks. (Frame 9). At that time there was no one in the cave. When Maria gave birth to a baby, the young mother swaddled him and put him on soft straw in the animal feeder. After all, there was no bed. (Frame 10). This feeder was called "nursery". Are you familiar with this word? Yes, the most younger group in kindergarten is called "nursery", in honor of this very feeder, where he lay newborn god. At this time, the angels told the shepherds the good news that God was born in their cave. (Frame 11). At first the shepherds were frightened, but then they were delighted and ran to their cave. The Magi also came to the cave. Everyone wanted to see baby god who was named Jesus Christ. (Frame 12).

A poem is being read:

Let's forget both grief and sadness,

Today was born baby jesus.

He was born at night, in a cold cave,

He was surrounded only by birds and animals,

Yes, angels, yes shepherds and magicians.

So, all people, and therefore we

They stood quietly and silently watched

To a wondrous miracle in holy Bethlehem.

caregiver: We can still visit this cave. You just need to buy a ticket to the country of Israel in the city of Bethlehem. A temple was built over this cave. Let's get into it. (Frame 13). See the star on the floor? They say that this is the very place where the manger stood baby christ. The Magi brought gifts with them. These gifts are now stored in the country of Greece on the holy Mount Athos. (Frames 14, 15). Now, in remembrance of these gifts, it is accepted giving gifts to children at Christmas too. Many other good customs associated with the holiday Christmas. For example, the custom of decorating a Christmas tree. (Frame 16). How did this custom come about? There are many different scientific assumptions and even fairy tales about this. I want to tell you one of them. When God was born, not only people and animals wanted to worship him, but even plants. one palm tree said: "I will bring my beautiful leaves as a gift to God, they will be his fan during the heat." Other answered: "And I will bring him my sweet dates". Herringbone said: "I also want to bow newborn god» . Proud Palms laughed: "Why are you going? What can you give? Your branches are so thorny, and the cones are inedible! But the Christmas tree was kind, she did not get angry with her boastful friends and only thought: “Well, really, I'm not as beautiful as palm trees. My dress is poor and prickly. But I really want to see God. I'll look at him at least from afar." And God rewarded the Christmas tree for her modesty and kindness. Stars descended from the sky onto the shaggy branches of the Christmas tree and decorated it with themselves. The Christmas tree became the most beautiful and elegant, but did not become proud. She wears her wonderful outfit only once a year for a holiday. Christmas. And at the top of the Christmas tree, an eight-pointed star always sparkles, similar to the one that brought the Magi to Bethlehem. Another custom is associated with this wonderful star. the day before Christmas(This day is called Christmas Eve, some people do not eat anything until the first star sparkles in the sky, which, as it were, says that God has already been born. (Frame 17).

E. Koroleva's poems are read "What an amazing evening"(abbreviated).

What an amazing evening

Quietly icicles ring.

And the trees in the distance are like candles

They are covered with snow.

And suddenly for some reason it seems

Over there, illuminating the sky,

Like a wonderful star

It's floating across the sky now.

At that moment, the whole earth will shine,

There will be no grief, no tears,

After all, everyone in the world knows -

The Savior Christ was born.

So people wait for this hour that they even forget about food. Children before the holiday made a toy nativity scene (Frame 18, plus I'm showing a nativity scene made by me). After Christmas children and youth dressed up, made a large star of Bethlehem, and with this star they went from house to house, singing christmas carols. These are the songs in which they praised newborn god christ. For this, the guys were called Christoslavs. The hosts presented the Khristoslavs with sweets, gingerbread, and nuts. (Frame 19). Week after Christmas was called Holy Week, or, according to the folk, "Christmas". It was believed that these days God himself walks the earth and helps everyone. And people at this time trying to do good deeds delight your loved ones with treats and gifts. (here it is possible to show a short game video « christmas angel» or enable song recording "Christmas tree in Christmas» ). Do you want guys and you cook Christmas presents? (Children sit at the tables and make crafts).
