Incarnate Word Postulant Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi, I am writing a paper for my liturgy class and I need help. I need to know what kind of images (decorations, symbols, banners) are used for the liturgical seasons in the southern hemisphere. For example, we know that Christmas over there happens in summer and that Catholics living in the Southern Hemisphere suffer some consternation because of the reversal of seasons. For them, there is no correspondence with their natural cycle and the Church Year. (or do they?) I need to know if the liturgical decorations or symbols used over there somehow relate to their natural cycle. For example, using the image of light for Christmas, seeing that the true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. I don't know, I'm still in the process of thinking about it. I would appreciate some help if you can and also please do not post offensive things. Thank you and may God bless you. Sister Mary Helga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry. This is serious. Go help Sister, you southerners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
