Boxing Day Project @ Elderly Citizens Center

Tomorrow we'll start a series of Christmas outreach events in our community focusing on a Boxing Day theme.

Tomorrow from 9.30am to 11.30 am we'll be at the Elderly Citizens Center in Budrio sharing the story of Boxing Day!

A few years ago we've read this good article from answersingenesis.org explaining the history
and meaning of Boxing Day!


History of Boxing Day
The most likely story dates back hundreds of years to Britain. When on December 26 wealthy families would give their servants and tradespeople a gratuity of either money or a "Christmas box" full of food and gifts to thank them for their service and for working all day Christmas Day. Historically, Boxing Day was about recognizing those who serve and thanking them for their service. Holidays, such as Boxing Day, can be used for the glory of God. Even if Boxing Day isn’t a traditional holiday where you come from, perhaps consider incorporating the idea of thanking those who serve into your Christmastime celebrations. In doing so you will show others the love of Christ and open up doors to share the real meaning of the season—Jesus Christ, the greatest gift ever given to this world.

We'll share with elderly and staff, this beautiful biblical value of gratitude and to value those who work for the good of the community, making small chocolate boxes, to say THANK YOU! Stefano will then give a Talk from John 3:16 pointing out to God's greatest gift in Jesus!
