| A brief annotation | Constantine I the Great (Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus) was proclaimed Emperor on 25 July 306 at Trier in today’s Germany and until his death ruled the greater part of the Roman Empire. With the Edict of Milan he made Christianity legal in the Empire and called the first Ecumenical Council at Nicaea in 325. It was Constantine who laid the foundations of the Byzantine Empire and who founded the New Rome, being Constantinople and proclaimed capital in 330, and who was the first Christian Emperor. As a lawgiver, Constantine the Great introduced a number of laws in favour of the Church, in defence of the poor and destitute, proscribed gladiatorial contests and crucifixion, and countering corruption and the misuse of power. Legend has it that he sent his mother Helena on a mission to Jerusalem, where in 326 she discovered the Holy Sepulchre and the True Cross. Helena returned to Rome aged nearly 80 and bearing holy relics from her pilgrimage, to die in her son’s arms. Constantine the Great also ruled the Empire from Serdica (today’s Sofia), of which city he said ‘Serdica is my Rome!’ For their contribution to Christianity, the Church canonised Constantine and his mother Helena Equal to Apostles, honouring their memories on 21 May each year. |

Life is not the lack of beauty, but the lack of the United States found the eyes. I tried to polish my eyes and look around The beauty of the details. Rural children grow up, never understand the city's busy, will not get used to that hustle and bustle of the environment, where the United States, this is my first thought of the west of the dam. So, with a thrill and happy, feeling green on the journey to find beauty. Warm sunshine, shed a golden, although it is the fall, I can still feel the vitality of the field. The leaves of the big tree in the door went out fast, and the leaves fell by the wind, and turned a few laps and returned to the cherry trees. "Falling red Not in the spring, this book will be a natural umbrella it. Take the footsteps forward, through a field, tightly attracted my eyes, so that I have to stay, everything is so fresh, so familiar with the mature corn exposed crimson tassel crooked in the side, inadvertently exposed a few grains of corn scattered golden light. Ripe persimmon orange a little red, crumbling, Like the wind blows on the fall of the same orange leaves have not been blown off. That beauty is no less than the fengshan red fire maple leaves less tiptoe, I took a leaf, holding in the palm of the hand, posted on the chest, Like my good friend, in the calm time will not bother me, and I was silent, silently thinking about their own thoughts. The old house in the field was still there, and the walls of the earth were washed away by the rain, but he could still standover there. Think of the old house is very warm heart, because there are good childhood fantasy and desire. A group of children, barefoot crazy run in the field, pocket filled with dates and persimmon, like a good agreement, like the mysterious old house around a circle of turn. Finally, the youngest child to play the first adventurer,was pushed to the dark house, came out after the little girl with their elated about, like the completion of a glorious and arduous task. That little girl is me, in fact, that time I was closed eyes, I do not know what is inside, of course, they do not know. Now I know that there is a trace of childhood happiness and memories. After many years, the earth house has not collapsed, waiting for the everlasting land, I would like to imagine it is waiting for me, waiting for a growing adult children here memories of her childhood. Come here again no reason to go to the dam, because I know that the field is my soul's home, after a journey of heart was filled with full. Li Qiu, summer end. Cool with the advent of autumn, and went through the season. Summer colorful, in the fall In the precipitation of the golden look. Autumn came, no longer lazy reason. Summer because of hot can let any Flow, but it is bound to harvest the fall, hard work is still the most beautiful posture. Then use our enthusiasm, pay Out, harvest, to embrace the fall. Autumn is the summer to cool, means the beginning of autumn. To the beginning of autumn, the plane trees began to fall leaves, so there are fallen leaves of the idiom. The word consists of Wo and the word of the word, is the meaning of the valley mature. Autumn is the weather from hot to cool,And then by the cold to the transitional season, Li Qiu fall is the first solar terms. A leaf of autumn, heavy season, only Know how to take root. In the fall, filled with fairy tales. Tanabata after the beginning of autumn, affectionate people, in this season sowing love. The Olympic Games in full swing, sports athletes in this fall, sweat, for the dream of hard work. In autumn, there are feelings everywhere. Deciduous, Daoxiang. Autumn, no longer look, but solid, in the fall seriously treat. We are constantly running constantly falling, but still did not give up the heart of the persistent dream. With love to smear Dream of the color, with dedication to honor the dream of the answer. Injured, but also want to give up. Back to the original place, only hair Now, no longer go back is the way through the four seasons style. Only forward. The autumn of life is exceptionally heavy. Shoulder the hope of carrying the world, the heart filled with family expectations. Can not stay, can not slip off. Tired, standing on the top of the mountain, or gaze overlooking, or sound loud and clear. Bitter, silently in a quiet place, do not want to be comforted, their own a convalescence. Even smile, but also less insolent, more is safe, the rest of his life. I love every one now, the past may be worth nostalgia. But now, every now, is a new beginning. Front, is the direction of our pursuit. Lit, the heart of the lighthouse, in the ocean, as always. Wait until the other side of life, back home, I hope we will be tears. Autumn, introverted also. When we have experienced young and frivolous, youth restless, middle-aged claims, came middle-aged autumn. Learned to hide the sharp, learned a tact with warm, learn not to preoccupied, learn to tolerate life. So, cloud light, light on the white. Just as the fall of the coming, autumn, the stars are bright. In fullness, persistent and brave, quiet and content, bloom. Bowed up, golden floor.

December 25th is Christmas Day. In most countries it is the most important day in the year. All the people come back to their homes to have the day with their parents or their children. On Christmas Day bells ring everywhere. The ringing bells tell people Christmas is coming. People sing and dance day and night. They have a good time. Most families buy a Christmas tree for their children. And there are some presents hanging from the tree here and there. People also put presents in children’s stockings. In many places, Father Christmas himself brings presents to them. He is a kind man and in red clothes. There is a big bag on his back. In it there are a lot of presents. Christmas is also a day when people enjoy all kinds of food. But some poor people have no homes and have no food to eat. They die of cold and hunger on Christmas Day.December 25th is Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus.Many people decorate their houses with Christmas trees and lights and give presents to family members. Children hang stockings for Santa Claus to fill with gifts. Christmas is a federal holiday. The African-American holiday of Kwanza is the last week of December. Candles are lit to represent the virtues of the African-American people. Christmas is just like our Spring Festival. Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy, Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.”
On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting. Santa Claus The original name is Nicholas, in the fourth century, was born in Asia Minor city of Pakistan big pull, the family wealth, parents are enthusiastic Catholics, unfortunately, his parents died young. Nicholas grew up, he gave a wealth of property, all donat ions given to the poor poor people, himself a monk convent, dedicated to the Church, a lifetime to serve the community. Nicholas was made a priest, but also was promoted to bishop. Among his life has done a lot of charity work, he most likes to secretly help the poor, Santa Claus is his later alias, a name because he was secretly give money to help the three girls story. Ushered in a winter, ushered in a Christmas. Every time I saw the street shop in front of different levels of Christmas trees, or wearing a red jacket, the statue of Santa Claus, it will arouse my memories, mind emerge that beautiful and naive fantasy remember me four That year's Christmas, Mom and Dad told me that on Christmas night, Santa Claus rode a small carriage into the chimney to give gifts to the good children. |
