Year 7 History – A Boy Bishopping Medieval Christmas!

Yr7: A Boy Bishopping Medieval Christmas!
In this activity students will learn how people celebrated Christmas in the Middle Ages. In particular, the class will re-enact the ceremony of the “Boy Bishop”. This ceremony will provide one student with special religious powers. In particular, that student will have the power to marry pairs of people in the class (although in church law these marriages will only be valid for 24 hours)!
