RE:Quest. Sunday School Resources. Christian Festivals. Lent, Easter and Christmas are the main religious festivals of the Christian Year. Most people in England celebrate Christmas and Easter. School children have two weeks off school during Christmas and Easter. The Christian Year The Christian year is divided up with events which remind us of the life of Jesus. It begins with the season of Advent, at the very end of November, which is a period of preparation for the coming of Christ, and then moves through the story of his life to the important focus of Holy Week and Easter.
Some festivals, like Christmas Day, happen on the same date every year, while others move around within a range of dates. The reason is because the Christian Calendar grew out of two other Calendars, the Jewish and the Roman. In their distant past, the Jews were a nomadic ( wandering) people. The Christian Church grew and expanded under the Roman Empire which followed a calendar controlled by the sun. Easter OTHER FESTIVALS and HOLIDAYS. Virtual Church Kids!
