Memorizing
The Creed

We believe in one God, God the Father, the Almighty,
Who created heaven and earth, and all things, seen
and unseen.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the OnlyBegotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all
ages;
Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not created, of one essence with the Father, by Whom all
things were made;
Who for us, men, and for our salvation, came down
from heaven, and was incarnated of the Holy Spirit
and of the Virgin Mary, and became man

Our Lord Enters Jerusalem On
Palm Sunday
St. John the Beloved & Arch Angel Raphael Coptic Orthodox church
(Sunday School Curriculum for First Grade)
On this day also, the blessed father and the lover
of God Anba Hadid the priest departed. He was right-
eous and virtuous. The Lord granted him the gift of performing miracles and wonders and granted him the
spirit of prophecy and knowing the hidden things. He
revealed what was in the hearts of his visitors and
healed those who were sick. It was said that he raised a
dead man through his prayers. He departed, when he
was one hundred years old, in a good old age.
May his prayers be with us and Glory be to
God forever. Amen

Story Time
One sunny day, soon after Jesus raised Lazarus from the
dead, there was a big feast in Jerusalem. It was the biggest feast of
the whole year. Almost every Jewish person from all the nearby cities and towns came to Jerusalem to celebrate this big feast.. Now
when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethpage, at the
Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go
into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me.
And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, "The Lord has
need of them,' and immediately he will send them. It was just an
ordinary donkey. That day, around twelve o’clock, our Lord and
His disciples came from the Mountain of Olives into Jerusalem,
and Jesus was riding on the donkey that His disciples had brought
Him. As He was going by, all the people of the city started singing
praises to Jesus, shouting out loud that He is the Son of David.
They even put down clothes and palm branches on the ground in
front of Jesus’ donkey, for it to walk on, just like nowadays someone would lay out the red carpet for a very important king. Our
Lord went with a great procession all the way from the gate of Jerusalem to the Holy Temple. The people were remembering all the
miracles that Jesus had done. They remembered how He healed
people that were sick with very bad sicknesses, how He had opened
the eyes of blind people so that they could see for the first time,
and how he had even raised people that had died from the dead,
like Lazarus. Because of all these things, they praised and glorified
Jesus, and prayed to Him to save them, saying “Hosanna!” And all
the people that hadn’t met Jesus yet were so amazed that everyone
praised Jesus so much, and they knew that He must be very great.
The leaders were very jealous of our Lord because the people were
praising Him more than the leaders. The leaders said to our Lord:
“let them be quite.” Our Lord said to the leaders: “if they are to be
quite, the stones will shout out.”

Fun Facts
Do you know that a hard boiled
peacock’s egg can take 90 minuets
while chicken egg takes only 12
minute to hard boiled it.
When He reached the Temple, He found many people selling and buying. He made a whip (a rope to hit with) and
drove all those who sold stuff from the temple and said:
“do not make my Father’s house a din of thieves.” He did not hit
the people with it but went and turned over the tables and the boxes of the things they sold.
What Did We Learn?
Even though Jesus was the Son of God, the greatest King
of all the kings that ever lived, He didn’t show off by wearing
fancy clothes or riding a beautiful horse like a stallion. He just
liked to be with anyone that wanted to spend time with Him,
even people that had done a lot of bad things. That’s why almost
everyone loved Him very much wherever He went.
In the Church we have a procession in all our feasts with
an icon or relics we also make a procession for the Pope and the
bishops when they visit our church. We make a procession because we honor our church’s pope and bishops as sent to us by
our Lord and continue His work
. The church is the house of God. The church is where we pray to
God and offer our Father ourselves in the Eucharist. We should
always keep it Holy: No shouting, No running around, No laughing loudly. When we enter the church we should make the sign of
the cross and bow down before the altar.
Vocabulary list
Hosanna: a saying to praise the Lord.
Palm branches: a long palm leaves.
Procession: a walk is done around the church with singing to
honor great persons.
Relics: martyrs and saints holy remains.
