Alma 7:10-12

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

Christmas is a time to shout Hosanna to the Most High.

GAK 223

Display the picture of Christ’s triumphal entry GAK 223. In Hebrew the word Hosanna means “pray, save us!” Hosanna is used as a cry of adoration. It is a word of respect and yet a word of pleading.

Read Mark 11:7-9
" And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord"

Make little paper palm branches for your children. Sing some excerpts from hymns and when they hear the word hosanna, they can hold up their branch.

Excerpts of songs could include:
The Spirit of God - Hymns pg.2 chorus
The Nativity Song - Children’s Songbook pg. 52–53 verse 2
Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus - Children’s Songbook pg. 36
All Glory, Laud and Honor - Hymns pg.69 verse 1
With Wondering Awe - Hymns pg.210 verse 3 and chorus
