The topic of this Religious Education School Based Assessment is the major festivals in Christianity. Holidays, feasts and fasts are a significant part of Christian religious practice. The feast days celebrate joyous historical events, such as the birth and resurrection of Christ, while the fast days provide a special opportunity to focus on self-reflection, self-discipline, and repentance. Festivals are a part of the natural human desire to celebrate, and so the traditional Christian festivals retain their hold upon our national consciousness, even in families where there is no Christian faith. Part of the task of RE, therefore, is to help pupils distinguish between the Christian heart of a festival and the secular additions (some of them very ancient) which now adhere to it. I hope that the information given in this project will help and educate all those who come in contact with it.
The successful completion of this study would not have been possible without the assistance and cooperation of a number of people. Consequently, I would like to thank God for giving me the strength to complete this study. Secondly I will like to thank my teacher Ms. Wisdom for guiding me through the steps involved in making this project a successful one and for the persons who answered the questionnaires that was issued out. Last but not least I would like to thank my mother Annmarie Henry for providing the necessary equipments and resources which help in completing this project.
