Reason for the Season

On special occasions, conjunctions are observed. This is when two or more objects in the sky appear close to each other. On June 17th, 2 B.C., there was a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus that many believe was the sign of the birth of Christ. The church moved the celebration of Jesus' birth to December to replace a pagan celebration. That's why around Christmas time I try to remind friends of the reason for the season, Jesus Christ. Here is a video depicting the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus:

  1. You have two different content areas here. If you do a conjunction then a drawing or a photgraph of a conjunction would be best. If you're doing the seasons then show how the sun changes as we go through them- take a picture of the sun from the same location at sunrise or sunset to show its motion.
