Holiday History Bundle: 9 Lessons on Different Holidays

Do the kids in your ministry know there was really a man named Saint Valentine and that Valentine’s Day is a day of remembering his death? Do they know the history of Mother’s Day? Do they know what Pentecost is?

Knowing the history behind the holidays we celebrate can enhance our celebrations and our Christian faith! Plus, looking back on the great things God has done is helpful to our Christian walk.  The history behind these holidays should not be forgotten, but passed down through generations! Use this 9-lesson series throughout the year to learn about, remember, and celebrate 9 different holidays that can have significance to our faith. 

Lessons include: Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Palm Sunday, Easter, Pentecost, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving & Christmas. Each lesson is full of historical & Biblical information, crafts, object lessons, large group activities, and additional book recommendations!
