Activity Workbook for When My Baba/My Yiayia Died

Marjorie Kunch

This companion full-color workbook provides meaningful ways to help children participate in saying goodbye to an Orthodox Christian loved one. It also includes reinforcement of concepts presented such as vocabulary review and word searches, open ended questions and journaling space to help a child process their emotions, coloring pages, an icon to keep, recipes for traditional Slavic and Greek Orthodox funeral foods children can help prepare, and Bible verses to look up and discuss. Perfect for both grieving families to complete together or as a tool in the classroom to discuss the inevitable experience of death and the Orthodox response to it. Also useful for students of our multicultural society studying religions of the world or holding an interest in funeral rites and customs.

Written by a funeral director and Certified Funeral Celebrant who has served thousands of families over twelve years, this title honors Church Tradition, Greek and Slavic cultural heritage, and evolving funerary practices.
