FREE Teacher's Guide for the "If I grew up in Nazareth..." booklet!
What did people eat for dinner? Did children go to school? What did people do for fun? Just in time for the holiday season, and in conjunction with last December's release of "The Nativity Story," a film about Mary and Joseph (Catholic Digest November, December 2006), Catholic Digest has created a special gift or teaching tool for the young people in your lives.
On this Web page, young Mary takes readers on a journey through her daily life in Nazareth. Here you'll read about how Mary made her own clothes, and what her wedding would have been like.
This Web page is only one stop on the adventure that young people, families, and classrooms can take with Mary. In Catholic Digest's colorful booklet, "If I Grew Up in Nazareth... Take a Trip Back to the Time of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus," Mary takes readers to many other places that figure in her life in Nazareth. Families and classes can enjoy reading together all about life in first-century Israel and doing the crafts and activities provided. This glossy, full-color booklet is geared for grades 3 through 7 and packed with 32 pages of learning and fun.
"In this hands-on booklet, Catholic Digest offers an extremely useful and accessible tool to enter more personally into the character of Mary, to understand more clearly her world, and ultimately to appreciate more profoundly the woman God chose to bear His son and our savior. Teachers and parents who desire to convey to children their own love for Mary will welcome this booklet!"
— Father John Franck, AA, provincial of the Augustinians of the Assumption (1996- 2005) and chairman of the board of trustees at Assumption College
