christmas under the schools and kindergartens christmas party, religious content is once again the topic of discussion.
the end of Last year in 71 per cent of finns belong to the evangelical-lutheran church, but in spite of all the not christmas religious references care.
the newspaper asked readers, what kind of christmas party would be for their good and what they think of the fact that the school party has or does not have religious elements.
Religious traditions to glory
a Large part of the survey respondents is of the opinion that christianity belongs to the christmas party. Also the minister of education, Sanni Grahn-Laasonen (ioc) said the evening newspaper, that the ministry’s position, according to the christian tradition are allowed in the schools christmas party.
the Parents of survey respondents who had pleasant memories of the christmas party, and still in school of the respondents felt that christmas wouldn’t be christmas without the christian christmas feast.
”it’s not a christmas party, if it is not allowed to have any christian elements.”
”Without Jesus there would be no christmas and no christmas party. Without Jesus christmas would to school.”
”the Finns have only one homeland and only one’s own culture. We will take care of its own country and our own culture, because no one else is doing it.”
”I think the religious elements include, in particular, to the christmas party, because it is a christian festival. If you are not a christian, it is okay not to listen, but the opportunity should not belittle or trample into the ground just because you talk about christianity. If the class as a Christmas tree is a built-in song in the school christmas pageant, I think, is however, impolite as well as disrespectful to the performers seems to sour face and fiddling with a cell phone only, because in their presentation to sing about Jesus. The christmas party is nice to end the semester and who dies 15 minutes in the christian share of the 1.5-hour show: no one. All have a certain freedom of belief, but it is ridiculous to refuse a religious display in the school party. And there is a new cultural way of learning to anyone doing evil. Yourself is at least interesting to learn and experience new things.”

”I would like To go to a christmas party, where is the christian elements. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and it has been for over 2000 years. That wonderful gospel and the message of christmas, fortunately, still can be heard in our schools.”
”the christmas party is not the party and nothing if it is not a traditional christian celebration. Finland is a christian country, where laws and culture are based on christianity and the Bible.
Nor is it based on break the rest of the guests requirement. Yes they live in the country the custom of the country or out of the country.”
”Christianity-related presentations are getting to see, so they could add humor and more new. Perinteisetkään the performances are still mind. Christianity the performances are pretty nice. Irritating, if you remember the joy you take away everything, when part does not take christian values of the school. They might stay away, so as part of christian believers stay out of school dance class.”
a religion-free christmas party, thank you
for Some, the evening paper of the questionnaire among the respondents was fairly neutral opinion on the religiosity of the school to the christmas party or not.
Part of the back was sharply believe that religion belongs only and only one place, namely the church. Day home and school of hope were religion-free zones.
”I’m not a school student but I take the position:
Mauri Pekkarinen believes that non-krisityt can be to participate in the celebration. That’s what’s most shocking statement! Non-participating children were unequal to the position, others are celebrating and they are, so what? Yes it would be easier for small to big trauma.
I believe that religious education and the action belongs in the home, not the school, so all the religious texts away. Those songs you could easily write lyrics so that they are not christian references.”
”the School should not use the religious elements of the school party, it should be remembered that a large part of the church only with their parents choices, and not own (because the church cannot be the difference of a minor).”
”in fact, when I was raised in a religious family, where the mood was to talk about Jesus and god on a weekly basis, so I really wanted one for my own kids, but I’d appreciate that schools and kindergartens would not be in its programme any religious display. It is wrong that some beliefs, fables, fed everyone, first and foremost, children should be protected as such. Yes, elementary and junior high school many of the boys changed the words to the song, if they sing about Jesus, which got a few staid open just the head.”
”Religion belongs in churches, mosques, temples and synagogues. The school does not have any of these. Santa claus, the reindeer and the eternal light of the celebration for all! Io Saturnalia, Sol invictus!”
