In a holiday season that will feature smaller dinner tables and celebrating in different ways, it’s worth reflecting on how feasting habits have changed over the years and how the material abundance of a feast is a clue to its importance.

Christianity is a faith with a long and extensive history, with numerous events of lasting significance occurring throughout the ages.
Each week brings the anniversaries of impressive milestones, unforgettable tragedies, amazing triumphs, births, deaths, and everything in between.
Some of the events drawn from over two millennia of history might be familiar, while other happenings might be previously unknown.
Here are three things that happened this week, Dec. 13-19, in Church history. They include the resignation of a disgraced cardinal, the birth of a prominent Medieval French theologian, and an influential American missionary setting sail for China.
On the very last day of our language arts classes for this term, my seven-year-old student gave a report on Martin Luther King Jr. He chirpily said Dr King was eloquent. When I asked him what the word meant, he couldn’t answer. And all I said was, “Parrot!” That’s a running joke we’ve had for the last seven months of our virtual classes. He was not amused by the name. He knew I was making fun of him for repeating a word he didn’t understand.
He quickly googled it. And I told him the word came from Latin. Then, my student completely redeemed himself from parrothood by asking this perceptive question: “Why do so many words come from Latin?” Over our months of conversation, I’d been telling him about the origin of the ‘big’ words he didn’t know. And, most of the time, they came from Latin. So now he wanted to know why. It’s such a joy to teach an intellectually curious child. You are challenged to provide age-appropriate answers.
