The decorated boat is a Greek custom. During the Christmas holidays, it was decorated in houses and squares, before being replaced by the Christmas tree. In recent years, many municipalities have brought back the custom, decorating the squares with ships instead of fir trees, or both.
The decorated boat, they say, symbolizes man's new journey in life, after the birth of Jesus. Let us hope, therefore, that the boats that will be decorated this year, will give us a new sailing,, will take us on a journey in calm waters and will show us the way to a better tomorrow.

Another custom is the breaking of the pomegranate. On New Year's morning, the householder takes a pomegranate with him to church. When he returns home he opens the door himself so that he will be the first to step in, holding the pomegranate in his hand. He then throws it down hard to break it.

You can see it standing side by side with the Christmas trees in the centre of cities, in parks and villages but mostly on the Greek islands.

Christmas customs in Greece!!!
In Greece, Christmas is one of the biggest holidays which ends on the day of Saint John, on January 7th every year.
Throughout the country, children go from house to house to sing carols on the eve of Christmas, New Year and Epiphany, but there are customs and traditions that bear the stamp of the place where they were born, as for example in the Peloponnese.

Greeks who live on the islands decorated boats at Christmastime -and they still do- due to the celebration of Saint Nicholas on his feast day, December 6. St.Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, making the occasion of his celebration a good reason for the locals to decorate boats, feeling grateful that the seamen of the family would sail back home in calm seas under the protection of Saint Nicholas.

A Christmas workshop in class, today!

# data[].attributes.body
In Poland, no one can imagine Christmas without a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, which used to be hung upside down from the ceiling, singing Christmas carols, sharing the wafer, waiting for the first star to appear in the sky, sitting down to the Christmas Eve supper and, of course, receiving gifts. Hay is often placed under the tablecloth to commemorate the birth of Jesus, and one free seat is left at the table for an unexpected guest. Many Poles, after eating Christmas Eve, participate in Pasterka - the Holy Mass at midnight. It is also a tradition to make mock-ups of Christmas nativity scenes. There are a lot of Orthodox believers in our area - there are 5 students in our class. They celebrate their holidays on January 7 and do not share the wafer but a small bun - prosfora.
