Here is your printable checklist
Welcome back, Juniors! I’m so excited to hear all about your Christmas break.
The story of Christ’s birth is a story of peace and hope. I hope you took some time to reflect on the joy and peace your Savior brings into your life.
Three Kings Day is all about seeking Christ! It’s a celebration of the three wise men who traveled to find baby Jesus and worship Him. Their journey was long and likely full of challenges, yet they never gave up.
In the same way, your journey in life won’t always be easy—but if you look to the Savior and seek Him, you’ll have His power to overcome any challenge.
The Three Kings Celebration!
This week is going to be a little different than our previous classes. You won’t actually learn about Three Kings Day until we meet on Thursday. All you need to know for now is that this holiday (also called Epiphany) takes place this very week all over the world. I do however need you to know a little about the culture in Barcelona, Spain. Watch this video and come prepared to tell me what stood out to you. How is it the same or different from where we live?
If you have extra time, here a few more short videos you can watch for fun. I found them very interesting!
- Churros: The most beloved street food in Spain!
- Scams: 10 common tourists scams to be aware of in Spain
- Bizzare Food: Watch a guy chow down on spiny lobster, turbot, and gooseneck barnacles. Yikes.
- Top 10 Places to See: See all 10 places in just under 4 minutes
- La Sagrada Familia: A quick history and tour of one of the world’s most famous buildings- it’s spectacular!
Myth Busters
Check your knowledge. Do you really know the story of the three wise men?
Did any of that surprise you?
Journey to the Star
Your first assignment is not an ordinary one.
It is an adventure challenge that will take courage, effort, and heart.
Like the wise men long ago, you will follow the path toward Christ, offer Him meaningful gifts, and worship Him through a series of special challenges. It is my hope that you will truly step into the journey and give it your very best.
- Here is the printable guide to your challenge. Follow it carefully and thoughtfully and I promise your life will be blessed with more hope and peace.
- Please come to class prepared to share your experience with us.
- If you feel comfortable, please bring this paper to class. If you are not comfortable, that is perfectly okay—you may simply share what you are comfortable with.
A Feast for Kings
Your final assignment is to prepare a feast fit for the Kings… I mean, the Wise Men. 😉
I’ve collected real recipes from Spain, the kind families enjoy at their tables on the eve of Three Kings Day. Pick one (and be sure to claim it with your name on the sign up sheet), grab your apron, and cook with all your heart.
We’ll be sharing lunch together, so no need to pack a separate lunch for Thursday. Just bring your dish and your royal appetite!
Again, here is your weekly checklist, food dish sign up and your challenge packet See you Thursday!
