The Structur<strong>in</strong>g Of Family CelebrationsThese are <strong>celebrations</strong> which are held with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> framework <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>family</strong>.They are:1.

But repeatedly it was observed that <strong>the</strong> ceremonies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> church were copied,with Officials do<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> important actions, and that <strong>the</strong> <strong>celebrations</strong> were used for propaganda purposes outside<strong>the</strong> <strong>family</strong>.It has to be repeated: our <strong>celebrations</strong> have to reflect our ideology: <strong>the</strong>y must be simple, clear, and to <strong>the</strong> po<strong>in</strong>t.Only <strong>the</strong>n can we fully understand and appreciate <strong>the</strong>m, and only <strong>the</strong>n will <strong>the</strong>y give us <strong>in</strong>ner strength.

We are happiest when we receive new vigour and willpower from such anhour <strong>of</strong> celebration.
