Ferdinand de Lesseps and Christmas

There was once a man called Ferdinand de Lesseps, who dreamed in making a channel that crossed trough the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
One day, when he was 54 years old, with the help of the crown prince Said, he started to design a channel that passed trough the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
When he started the project, he didn't thought about the politic and geostrategic implications, when the Britannic government realize about that project, it started to push the Egypt government to stop the project because it united India with England by the Mediterranean Sea. But it didn't make it, and the project continue.
The dead of prince Said, affected the project, because it was relief by Ismail Pacha, who tried to stop the project by getting the constructors out of there, but Ferdinand de Lesseps introduced modern machines.
One day in January 7th they celebrated Christmas by stop working and eating the Egypt typic food.
And every one lived happy for ever!!!

A Perfect Christmas

An Egyptian girl named Azeneth  was waiting for Christmas eve on January 6th.  She was preparing her backpack , when she  was ready, her mother Isis told her that they couldn't  travel in the hot air balloon to their grandparents' house because there was a lot of snow.  Azeneth insisted that they could go by car.
 
When they were driving they had to  stop the  car, because of the snow storm and they had to stay in the "Rainbow hotel"  some children in the hotel were waiting for Baba Noel and were decorating the place with a Christmas Lebkuchen and eating food .
   
Azeneth's grandparents called her daugther.   They were worried so  Isis told them  they had to spend the night at the hotel.  Azeneth  asked a wish to Baba Noel, she closed her eyes.  Her wish became real!!!!   When she opened the biggest present her grandparents were inside!!!!

The following day all the family travelled back in the hot air balloon and they had the most fantastic and magic Christmas.

Priests wear ceremonial clothes and all the bells in both the churches and the monasteries ring. The church broadcasts their ceremonies throughout the nation. After the church service, people return to their homes where they dine on soup and fatta which is meat and rice.
 
The children of Egypt receive new clothes for Christmas along with a few small gifts. Even though it is illegal in Egypt  .Is it thought that Santa Claus, who they call Sint Clas, arrives and leaves these small gifts.
 
The meal that is traditional in Egypt for this holiday is a very simple diet of peas, beans, cucumbers, dates, figs, and grapes. For the main course families enjoy eating roast meats. The types of meat that are typically eaten are red meats and fish. 

One day one boy helped in the hot air ballon because this boy sawthe person important and then Pasparto and Fogg go to Bombay and say thanks to the boy.

POSADAS


                                         ¿QUE ES UNA POSADA?


Las Posadas son fiestas populares que se celebran en México, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, y Panamá durante los nueve días antes de la Navidad, es decir, del 16 al 24 de diciembre. Estas fiestas recuerdan el peregrinaje de María y José desde su salida de Nazaret hasta Belén, donde buscan un lugar para alojarse y esperar el nacimiento del niño Jesús.





                                                ORIGEN

Las Posadas se crearon desde los primeros evangelizadores: el fraile agustino Diego Soria solicitó autorización al Papa para llevar a cabo nueve misas en los días anteriores a la Navidad para celebrar el nacimiento de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo como el verdadero sol y luz del mundo, a lo que el Vaticano respondió afirmativamente. Esto debido a que los indígenas celebraban, por las mismas fechas, una importante fiesta en honor del nacimiento del dios de la guerra, Huitzilopochtli, Además de los rituales observados en honor a este dios, durante la conquista el pueblo azteca solía comprar un esclavo propicio para representar al dios Quetzalcóatl, quien según las creencias de los aztecas, bajaba a visitarlos durante las fiestas en conmemoración del sol viejo. 






                                          PIÑATAS SU SIGNIFICADO

La piñata que se usa en las Posadas (y que también ha venido a utilizarse en muchas otras celebraciones del año, con el paso del tiempo) es una artesanía elaborada con barro y papel.


Según la tradición religiosa adoptada en España y posteriormente en América en el siglo XVI, la piñata tiene forma de estrella con siete picos; cada pico es un pecado capital. Debe romperse con un palo, que representa la fortaleza y fuerza de Dios con la que alguien, por ensayo y error y con los ojos vendados, en representación de la fe ciega en Dios, la quebrará. Al romperse, la caída de los dulces y las frutas representa las recompensas y dones que, por vencer al pecado, reciben todos los participantes.

             



                                       ¿SABÍAS QUE?..........

 En Colombia, Ecuador y Venezuela se celebra la Novena de Aguinaldos, fiesta religiosa muy similar.

Hay dos tipos de posadas, las posadas en las que la gente se hospeda y las posadas en honor a los nueve meses de gestación de María.
En este párrafo se hablarán de la posadas en honor a los nueve meses de gestación de María.
Las Posadas son fiestas celebradas en honor a los nueve meses de gestación de María celebradas del 16 al 24 de diciembre.
Los padres de Jesús fueron desde Jerusalén hasta Belén para empadronarse, pero la madre de Jesús estaba embarazada y cuando llegaron a Belén empezaron a pedir posada, pero   
Las Posadas se crearon por el fraile agustino y Diego Soria quien solicitó autorización al Papa para llevar a cabo nueve misas en los días anteriores a la Navidad para celebrar los nueve meses de gestación de María, a lo que el Papa respondió que si.

Las Posadas

Las Posadas son fiestas populares que se celebran en México, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, y Panamá durante los nueve días antes de la Navidad, es decir, del 16 al 24 de diciembre. 
Estas fiestas recuerdan el peregrinaje de María y José desde su salida de Nazaret hasta Belén.

Al terminar las letanías se dividen en dos grupos: uno entra a la casa y otro pide posada imitando a San José y la Santísima Virgen cuando llegaron a Belén. Los peregrinos reciben acogida por parte del grupo que se encuentra en el interior. Luego sigue la fiesta con el canto de villancicos y se termina rompiendo las piñatas.

Las piñatas 

Según la tradición religiosa adoptada en España y posteriormente en América en el siglo XVI, la piñata tiene forma de estrella con siete picos; cada pico es un pecado capital. Debe romperse con un palo, que representa la fortaleza y fuerza de Dios con la que alguien, por ensayo y error y con los ojos vendados, en representación de la fe ciega en Dios, la quebrará. Al romperse, la caída de los dulces y las frutas representa las recompensas y dones que, por vencer al pecado, reciben todos los participantes.

Las posadas son una tradición decembrina mexicana que surgió a partir de los intensos esfuerzos de evangelización de los frailes en el Siglo XVI. Según se cree, las fiestas que los indígenas tenían para celebrar las cosechas o en honor a su dios Huitzilopochtli fueron reemplazadas por esta forma de rendir culto al Dios Cristiano. Nadie sabe en realidad cuál fue el primer pueblo en celebrar estos ritos, pero muchos señalan a San Agustín de Acolman en el Estado de México como el lugar de surgimiento. 


Las posadas originalmente consistían de una representación del peregrinar de la virgen María y de José antes del nacimiento de Jesús en Belén. Se realizaban durante los 9 días previos al 24 de diciembre, fecha en que se celebra la Navidad. Muchos creen que son 9 días por el simbolismo del embarazo, 9 meses. La representación puede llevarse a cabo mediante el uso de “peregrinos” en forma de estatuas que cargan los fieles o por personas ataviadas como María y José. Mientras los peregrinos van de casa en casa pidiendo “posada”, es costumbre recitar cánticos y oraciones.
