Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and Epiphany are the major Christian festivals. They celebrate the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and the fact that he "rose again" after death. Many different people all around the world take part in these festivals, with their own stories, songs, poems, prayers and even special foods to eat.

Here you will find stories about the three kings and lots of presents, a naughty donkey, and tongues of fire bringing special powers. There is also a recipe to make, an Easter song and a Christmas play, written especially for children to perform.
