Christianity: The Journey to Bethlehem


Today we began to study Christianity by learning about the story of Joseph and Mary traveling to Bethlehem in order to register for the census.

Lisa and Jago got our questioning off to an excellent start with their question about the recurring significance of the donkey in Christianity:

Lisa and JagoIs it a coincidence that Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem at the end of his life, just like his mom (Mary) rode a donkey into Bethlehem at the beginning of his life? Why did they ride on donkeys rather than horses?

CharlotteDo you think Mary and Joseph tried to help Jesus before he was killed?

LiaDo you think it is a good idea to become a nun or a monk? Is it worth it to give up family and true love (which the Bible says is really important; even Paul says, “And now faith, hope and love abide, these three: and the greatest of these is love”) and marriage, even if it is for what you believe in?

Celia: Do you think nuns commit sins?
