During the Christmas
Vacation
Just before the holiday break we did something
different that really touched our elders' hearts. Some of the student
council representatives and the school principal went to each
household to give out fruit and stockings to the elders. They were
very happy and surprised because Max was dressed up as Santa Claus.
This was new to all of us and we enjoyed it a lot.
Christmas day was very exciting because my sister
Theresa had a baby girl. She named her baby Evangeline Tatiana Isaac.
We were really happy because she'd been gone for a long time and we
wanted her home for the holidays.
We also celebrated Russian Christmas which we call
Slavic. It started on January 7 and ended on the 11th. This year it
went by very fast. Everyone enjoyed it though. Every year they start
off at the Russian Orthodox church. This year there weren't as many
people as in other years. I think this is the reason why Slavic went
by so fast. During this special holiday we think of Jesus Christ and
the day he was born. We also listen to stories about the past,
present and future. All these stories really get our attention. They
make us understand how everything relates and contributes to
everything else in life. Also during this holiday there are the Star,
Bucket and Flag which stand for different things. The Star symbolizes
when the wise men followed the star to find Christ. The Bucket stands
for the Earth. And the Flag symbolizes the victory of Christ over
death. Only boys hold these objects.
Starring during Slavic is done only in Alaska.
Slavic started a long time ago, and was an outgrowth of the Russian
Orthodox religion brought here by the Russians in the 1850's. People
feast because they remember what Jesus said. When he was hungry he
was fed. Also the old people believe that when you feast you feed the
deceased because everyone has the "soul name" of some dead
person.
