Christmas by Mike Hirst
Find out why Christians celebrate Christmas on 25th December every year and why people give each other presents, sing carols and decorate their homes and churches. Read about Father Christmas, Baboushka in Russia, and the story of the red poinsettia plant which is told in Mexico. This book includes the religious origin and history of Christmas, as well as the different ingredients that make up the celebration today. An illustrated map shows where the festival is celebrated around the world and a calendar of other Christian festivals puts it into context.
