Six Christmas Traditions from around the World

It's a long time since we last posted a reading comprehension activity, and it is about time we did so. Six Christmas Traditions from around the World is a New York Times article which shows six ways of celebrating Christmas in different countries around the world.

The New York Times Learning Network has set the following questions that we should be able to answer if we have understood the article.

WHERE, on weekends leading up to Christmas, do two caves offer caroling sing-alongs?
WHAT traditionally weaves through the narrow streets to Manger Square, the plaza outside the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem, this time of year?
WHEN is the Noche de Rábanos in Mexico?
HOW do people in Quebec City celebrate outdoors this time of year?
WHO celebrates midnight Mass in St. Peter’s Square in Rome?
WHY do celebrations in Taos, N.M., blend so many traditions?
