Our lesson today is dedicated to the great Christian holiday - the Nativity of Christ. In our country, the holiday of the Nativity of Christ will be celebrated after the New Year, namely on the night of January 6-7. And today we will learn about the history of the holiday.

III. Conversation. PRESENTATION.

CHRISTMAS ORTHODOX

SLIDE 1. It is known that the Mother of God, on the eve of the birth of her Son, came to Bethlehem with her husband Joseph. Bethlehem is a small city, and there weren’t enough places in the hotel for everyone. Therefore, Mary and Joseph stopped for the night in a cave. There were many such places in those parts - shepherds drove their cattle there at night. On the same night Christ was born. The baby was placed in a manger - a feeding trough for livestock.

Let's close our eyes, listen to the chant called “Silent Night over Palestine” and imagine how it was.

Listening - fragment of the chant “Silent Night over Palestine” (choir)

SLIDE 2. The shepherds bowed to Jesus first, then the wise men came - the wise men. These sages lived far to the east. They foresaw the birth of the Savior and when they saw a guiding star in the sky, they went after it. This star is called the Star of Bethlehem. The wise men brought gifts to the God-Infant. In Rus', Christmas was especially looked forward to. First they celebrated it, and then celebrated the New Year. Therefore, it is customary for Christians to decorate Christmas trees just for Christmas. In 1918, Russia switched to a new time. Because of this, New Year comes first and only then Christmas.

All over the world, Orthodox Christians celebrate this holiday. And at Christmas time you can hear a song that people all over the world can sing in the language of their country.

Listen to the sound of this song in English.

Sounds " Silent Night " (English) F. Gruber

What was the nature of the song? (singing, lyrical, tender)

Is the song written in a minor key or a major key? (in major)

Let's listen to how it sounds in Russian.

"Quiet night"

What was the tempo of the song? (slow)

Who do you think performed this song? (choir)

SLIDE 3. Christmas Eve

The day before the holiday is called Christmas Eve. This is a very strict fast day. Christians try not to eat food until the evening. But according to modern tradition, one can fast only until after the festive service a candle is brought into the center of the church and the troparion to the Nativity is sung.

Let us also listen to the troparion to the Nativity.

Where do you think this chant can be heard? (in the church)

What feelings did you have after listening?

We continue to get acquainted with the traditions of the holiday.

SLIDE 4. The evening of this day is called Holy. It is traditionally held with the closest people. They sit down at the table with the first star. It symbolizes Bethlehem, which led the Magi to the born Christ. Housewives prepare twelve Lenten dishes for Holy Evening. The main delicacy is kutia. A little hay is placed under the plate with it as a reminder that Christ was born not in a mansion, but in a poor manger.
SLIDE 5. Kutya - a dish of boiled grains, usually wheat, with honey and nuts. Later they began to add poppy seeds to it, and even later - raisins. Modern housewives add halva or sugar instead of honey.

SLIDE 6. They drink uzvar during the meal. It is customary to cook Lenten borscht for the holy evening, prepare salads with vegetable oil, dumplings with Lenten filling, pies, and fish dishes.

SLIDE 7. According to tradition, people on the eve of the holiday they decorate the Christmas tree and also walk and sing carols. Everyone can carol – both adults and children. It is customary to give gifts to those who brought good news to the house - sweets, fruits, money - whatever they can.

And now we’ll see how they warmly celebrate the Nativity of Christ in Russia!

Kaverin (video fragment);- Angels in the sky sing a song;- Christmas - carol(These songs radiate joy. They have easy-to-remember melodies and simple rhythms.) It is recommended to listen to the song “Silent Night” by F. Gruber (an international Christmas anthem) with children in a recording (in the phonochrestomathy it is performed in English by the choir of King's College Cambridge under the direction of D. Willcock). I also offer a video file of the song “Silent Night” performed by two girls, sisters, I can’t find their last name, I remember their performance with this song at the Yermolov “We Are Together” competition4. Carols. Slavic folk carol songs are associated with ancient rituals. On Christmas (December 25/January 7) and New Year, children and adults went from house to house with congratulations, songs, a star and a nativity scene (a box with wooden toys in the form of a cave, reminiscent of the one in which Christ was born). This ritual was called caroling or glorification.Today we will learn and perform folk carol songs:- "Nativity",- “Everyone is coming, hurrying to the holiday.”- Let's come up with wishes for the “good people” you will visit for Christmas.At the end of the lesson we will repeat the songs that we learned for the New Year holiday.

What can you say about the characters in the picture?

Teacher: Guys, do you want to know the history of this holiday? Today in class we will get to know her. So listen:

(Sounds like “Waltz of Snow Flakes” from the ballet “The Nutcracker” by P. I. Tchaikovsky)

It was a long time ago: We were in the grip of winter frosts. There were fluffy snowdrifts all around. Sparkling frost enveloped the white snow-covered trees, and a desert cold wafted from the quiet earth. And far, far from our homeland, in the hot country of Palestine, where winter cold never occurs, the baby Christ was born. He appeared near the city of Bethlehem, in a cave where shepherds drove their horses and cows during bad weather.

Late in the evening, on the eve of this event, the parents of Christ - the Virgin Mary and Elder Joseph - reached Bethlehem.

It so happened that no one in the city allowed them to spend the night, and they found refuge in a cave called the Den. Every hour and every minute children are born on Earth.

But when Christ was born, so many unexpected and wondrous miracles happened in the world that people are still amazed by them.

The miraculous events of that night were sung by poets, artists and musicians all over the world. Maybe some of you guys know poems about the holiday of Christmas?

Children read poetry.

Teacher: Christmas is a holiday for children and adults with songs, games, gifts, it is a holiday at the Christmas tree with the glow of candles and the smell of resinous pine needles, because it is no coincidence that the Christmas tree is considered the symbol of the holiday.

The days following Christmas are called "holytide". Children and adults go to visit, congratulate friends, sing songs, dance:

Children perform the "Lady" dance.

Stomp your left foot, stomp your right foot,
Hands on hips, people dance to the lady,
Let's move our left ear, wink with our right eye,
Let's smile to the left, to the right, let's dance the lady to her glory:

This ritual is called caroling or glorification, and those who take part in this ritual are called carolers. For the performance, the owners of the houses treat the carolers with various sweets.

Maybe you guys also went caroling and can tell us about this ritual?

Teacher: Guys, now we will sing a song "Nativity:"

What do people of other countries sing about on this holiday? Interesting? Let's listen!

The Ukrainian folk carol "Shchedryk" and the European carol "Riu, Riu, Chiu" are played.

Teacher: What unites the carols that were sung?

Children: Festive mood:

Teacher: Absolutely right! The Christmas song is heard in all countries where the Nativity of Christ is celebrated!

Teacher: What musical instruments do you think the carolers accompany their performances with?

Children: Ratchets, spoons and other tools.

Teacher: Do you know how to play musical folk instruments?

Teacher: Let's play, come out!

Playing folk and musical instruments, r.n.p. "In the forge"

Teacher: Great! What songs about the Christmas tree are you familiar with?

Children: "Little Christmas tree."

Teacher: Do you know that there is another version of this song? And now you and I will stand together in a round dance and sing it:

Teacher: Now let's remember what new and interesting things you learned in class today. What did you like and remember most?

Teacher: What would you wish for the people you visit for Christmas?

Children: Merry Christmas, good luck with your studies:

Teacher: Well done, I congratulate you on the New Year and Merry Christmas, and in memory of our lesson I give each of you an angel. May it bring you good luck and happiness.

Goodbye children! (singing)

Children: Goodbye! (singing)
