History
Saint Methodius grew up in a wealthy family, and his parents
thought he would work for the government someday. However, he was called by God
to serve the Church. He became an abbot, a leader of a monastery, during a time
when some Christians thought that any image or statue in a church was wrong.
There were many arguments and debates, and Saint Methodius was even arrested
because he was in favor of keeping statues and icons in churches so that people
would have something lovely to look at when they worshiped God. Saint Methodius
worked hard to keep the Church unified. He wrote beautiful sermons and poetry
about God to inspire people to think about Jesus instead of arguing.
Activity
Did you ever hear a wonderful story or poem that made you think
about Jesus? Somebody wrote that. If you can speak words, you can write a poem
or story that will show other people how much you love Jesus. Your poem can
rhyme or not. It can follow a simple structure like Haiku or you can make up
your own structure.
