The Christmas story

Long ago about 2000 years when King Herod ruled Judea. God sent the Angel Gabriel to a young girl in Nazareth. The girl’s name was Mary. The angel said to Mary “Peace be with you, you will be pregnant with a son by the Holy Spirit and you will name him Jesus the son of God”. Joseph was worried when he found out that Mary was expecting a baby before their marriage took off. His name will be Jesus,which means the saviour. Mary and Joseph traveled on a donkey to Bethlehem. When they reached Bethlehem they had trouble finding rooms. At the time all the rooms were sold out and the only room that was available for them was a shed where the animals had lived. Mary gave birth to baby Jesus the son of God. Jesus’ bed was a manger where the animals ate their hay from. The angel said “Glory to God in the highest peace with the people all around the world”. The shepherds went to Bethlehem to see Joseph. The three wise men loved studying stars. When the Three Wise Men had gone an Angel appeared in Joseph’s dream and said “Get up, take Mary and Baby Jesus and escape to Egypt and stay there. King Herod is planning to kill baby Jesus. When King Herod died the angel said to Joseph that they could go back to Galilee. But when Joseph had heard that king Herod son had been king of Judea Joseph was too scared to go back.

Matariki dictogloss

Matariki is known for a cluster of stars as the pleiades rising in the mid winter. It is the start of new year. Matariki literally means the eyes of God or little eyes.

 According to Ranginui the Sky father and Papatuanuku the Earth Mother were separated by their children. The God of wind Tawhirimatea became so angry, that he tore his eyes out and threw them up into the heavens.

 Matariki is a time for remembering the ones that have died in the last year. It was also a happy time to plant crops and kumara. It is also a time to enjoy seafood and birds. It is a time to dance, sing and feast on the yummy foods.

 Matariki celebrates the past and today. It was once popular but in the 1940’s they stopped the celebrations. In the early 2000’s Matariki started to become popular again. Only a few people became a part of the Matariki celebrations. Flying kites is a special feature of Matariki. According to ancient custom, the reason why kites were used was that kites fluttered close to the stars.
