Chris tGlAs
Day
Its Early Massacres by
History ] the Romans

1t Is n generally accepted belief that
on the date that we call Christmas day
Christ was born. This is questioned
by some chrOniclers, but the doubt does
little harm, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Every one is satisfied to take this date
as the nativity of Christ, and il mat
ters little whether it is historically cor
rect or not; one day in the ye0r 1T Is
believed by all good Christians. should
be set aside for the celebration OF the
birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and the
25th of December Is as good Il day as
any on the calendar
1t is necessary to go back to the
Roman era to find Tie first recorded
reference to festival on the da a.
known to US as Chris lmaS day, so thai
1t need not be cause for surprise If
through al the past ages the record Of
the exact day on which Christ was
born should have become lost History
rells us that the first feast TO E@ cele-
bratcd on the 10Th Of December was
established by CammCdUs, emperor of
Rome, who nou.iShrd about lS5 years
after the birth of Christ.
After THAI there arc many references
to the meet u@s uf Tie new sect called
the Christians, whp gathered Oh this
day to celebrate the birth Of the God
Man II is not until century aftcl
the time OF COumoduS that we find Il
particular reference to the persecution
that the Christians underwent ut tic
hands Of the pagan Cmperors having
eliminated in Al grand Christmas day
massacre.
Diocletiau was the Roman who de-
cided to celebrate the date by killing
Off few Christians. He did so with
a vengeance. The most horrible decd
pcrpctgatvd during tile festival was On
Christmas day, when the assembled
Christians, gathered In their place of
meeting, were set upon ard slaughter
ed, while the Romans looked on in
great glec at the GiS.t Of antipaGan
people being put TO death for their re-
liglor'S sake.
When Rome was no longer pagan
state, the feast began to be celebrated
I'm the Christian style. although some
OF the songs that were sung and some
of the rites of the festival would grca +
ly shock the strictly orthodox church
goer OF the present day. At that time
there were no excursion rains TO carry
those who wished TO take part in a
public celebration from point TO point,
and tha electric telegraph had no. been
thought OF. Consequently those WHO
celebrated the birth of Christ in early
days did so in widely separated coun.
fries. sometimes at widely separated
periods OF time and according TO 10
set programme. 1t was every com
munity for itself, and no one to criti-
else the others for not being careful
about the date.
AS matter of fact, the ancient cele-
bration of Chrfst's nativity was left
entirely tc the discretion Of the differ
ent bodies, and as every community

had divergent interests the time was
arranged to suit the eXigencics of the
case. If Christmas day happened to
come upon time when there was too
much work to be done to permit OF
holiday, then ii would be postponed
until a more suitable season. Owing
to this Indifference to precedents the
exact date when the birth of Christ
ought to be kept was hopelessly lost.
On only one thing were ali the am
clients agrced-namely, that the festival
in commemoration of the birth Of
Christ ought to be- the most magnih-
cent of the year. In some cases it was
kept up for days and the meaning OF
the festival was forgotten long before
the revelers returned to their homes
again.
1t is interesting to observe that the
custom OF giving presents at Christ
mas time, which has survived to this
day. was begun in the first days of the
Christmas feast. So was the custom
that is known as carol singing. The
songs of today are based on the event
that makes Christmas day a time of
rejoicing, but at that time they were
not overparticular as to the subject
chosen by the singers. In fact it would
be difficult TO find in some of them an
excuse for the singing of such ditties at
a religious festival.
1t is II striking feature Of this Christ
mas celebration that from its earliest
recorded history there is no sentiment
In connection with ii but.thesc OF kind.
lness and good feeling. However
much the Old style of celebrating
Christmas might be Objectionable to
the twentieth century critic of orthodox
tendencies who frowns at the frivolity
of some Of the customs, 1t was always
a time for the better side Of human
nature to be exhibited and for people
to take gifts to each other in spirit Of
peace and good Will This kindly spirit
has been maintained until all over the
world today 1t is seen in the merry
making. the happiness conveyed by the
glorious institution of Santa Claus, the
steam!ng hot dinners presented to the
poor, the frolic and the funmaking in
almost every home, and the gathering
together for the yearly reunion of those
whom circumstances separate for the
greater part OF the year. May the sea-
son never cease TO be famous for it's
power to bring out the better attributes
Of men and women, as il did of old!
