Booklet takes the young back to Mary’s time
NEW LONDON,
Conn. (CNS) -- What was it like to grow up in Nazareth in Mary and Joseph’s
time? What did people eat for dinner? Did children go to school? What
did people do for fun?
Through a new 24-page booklet produced by Catholic Digest, young Catholics
can get answers to those questions and more. “If I Grew Up in Nazareth
... Take a Trip Back to the Time of Mary, Joseph and Jesus” includes
an interactive account of the life of the young Mary, packed with activities
and crafts, vocabulary words related to the Catholic faith and educational
writing exercises.
Geared for third- through seventh-graders, the colorfully illustrated
booklet also features fun facts about “The Nativity Story,”
a movie filmed in 2006 about young Mary and Joseph.
Catholic Digest launched a special Web supplement to the booklet, online
at www.catholicdigest.com/nativity,
where parents and teachers can find free additional chapters and activities
that support both faith and education. There is also a free downloadable
teacher’s guide on the site.
Copies of “If I Grew Up in Nazareth” may be ordered by phone
at: (800) 321-0411, or online at: www.catholicdigest.com/nativity. The
booklet is 99 cents per copy and a minimum order of 10 copies is required.
