Question #1:
Briefly retell your favorite part of the Christmas story AND tell why that is your favorite part.
Answer (To question #1):
My favorite part of the Christmas story is the Escape to Egypt. Because it is when Joseph, Mary, and Jesus flee to Egypt because an angel of the Lord told him to do so. The angel also told him to stay in Egypt ’til King Herod was dead. When the angel appeared to Joseph again in another dream, he told him to take the baby and his mother and go to Nazareth.
Question #2:
Tell 3 NEW things you learned during the past two that you did not know before. (They can be from any of the stories.)
Answer (To question #2):
- I didn’t know that in The Birth of Jesus, the shepherds actually didn’t see Baby Jesus ’til after TWO years.
- I didn’t know that in The Presentation in the Temple, the prophetess Anna prayed and mourned every night in the temple.
- I didn’t know that in The Visit of the Magi, that Magis were also astrologers.
