El Dia de la Biblia

In Honduras they celebrate annually "El Dia de la Biblia" (The Day of the Bible). That's pretty awesome. No other books, religious or otherwise, get a special holiday all to themselves... hmm, maybe this isn't just any other book. At IST we celebrate this national holiday by dressing up each class from nursery to 2nd grade (16 sections total) to represent a different story from the Bible, and then parading around the entire school accompanied by the High School marching band. It is quite a celebration! This year, my class was the story of Jesus' birth. We had Mary and Joseph, 3 wise men, several shepherds, a donkey, a cow, 2 sheep, and 2 angels. It was great fun, and the kids were super cute!
