MAS TREE
A ScAUDINAvAE LEGEND TELLS OF
THE SERVICE TREE
COMMON CUSTOM IN EGYPT
HAS Been Suggested That This may be
Revival OF Pine Trees OfRoman
SaturnaIia

1t is difficult to trace the origin
of the Christmas tree and almost
ever, mythologist has little diff
erent manner OF explaining why
the evergreen was chosen for this
great festival day.
A Scandinavian legend tells Of
the Service, tree which sprung
srom the blood.soaked earth where
two lovers were killed BY violence
and that mysserions lights, which
the wind could not extingui ii,
were seen at Christmas in the tops
of forest trees.
In old Egypt there was a acommon
custom Of decorating the houses at
the time Of the winter solstice with
brauches Of the date palm. The
date palm was the emblem Of i'm
mortality and also OF the star-lit
armament. This tree puts forth a
shoot every month and branch of
it containing twelve shoots was a
symbol Of the year complete.
II has also been suggested that
this may be the revival Of the pine
trees Of the Roman Saturnalia, a
December feast during which pines
were decorated with images q
Baccus.
The most plausible explanation
however, is that its earlier signif-
canoe arose from the pagan wor-
shiP of trees, and that later Christ
ian ideals gave a lofter meanings
to its use. When the apostles
preached the gospel in pagan lands
instead Of interdicting tho idola
trous feasts they permitted such
festivities as were not intrinsically
sinful, but sought to cha &c the I
idolatrons nature by giving a

Thus, when Pope Gregory
sent St. Augustine to convert
Saxon England in 500, he directed
him to make the change of religion,
so far as ceremonies we're concern
ed, as gradual as possible, that the
people might not be startled. The
.Saxons called the feast of the
midwinter solstice Yule, and on
that occasion the Druids went in
solmn procession to cut the mistle-
toe from the sacred oak tree. This
CEREMONY, an old chronicle tells US,
took place ION the sixth day Of the
moon nearest the new year. The
evergreen which they call all-heal,
was afterword sold at a high price
to their credulous followers. The
people signified their Joy at the
cutting Of magic mistletoe by feast
ing on roasted oxen and dancing.
In the December following ST.
Augustine S arrival he permitted
his converts to join IN the feasting
but forbade their mingling with
pagans in the dance; and judging
from his success in planting the
faith, It was probably but a short
time ere he had weaned them from
their barbaric orgies to saner cele-
bration of the great Christian fes-
tival occurring in the same month.
An old German legend makes
st. Winifred the inventor of the
idea. In the midst Of a crowd Of
.convicts he is said 10 have been
hewing down great oak which
had formerly been the object of
their Druidic veneratiou. As he
chopped whirlwind passed over
the forest aud tore the tree from its
foundation. Behind it stood a
young FIR, unharmed, pointing its
spire toward the stars. The priest
dropping his axe, turned to the
people and said
This little tree, young child
OF the forest, shall be your Holy
Tree tonight. 1t is the wood Of
peace, for your houses are built Of
FIR. 1t is the sign OF an endless
life, for its leaves are ever green.
See how it points upward toward
heaven. Let this sbe called the
tree Of the Chri=t-Child; gather
about ii, not in the wood, but il
your own homes; there il will
shelter, no deeds Of blood. but low
ing gifts aud rites of kindness.

pagan superstitions Of the Germans

roes restored themselves. This
tale was we'll known in Germany
long after the introduction Of
Christianity, and much Of its sym
bolic character was aransferred to
the celebration of the birth of
Christ "the Iresaurrection and the
iise.,, The evergreen is fitting
emblem Of eternal spring; the
burning lights suggest Him who
is the light Of the world; and the
gifts remind us of the PRICELESS
gift of God to humanity-the
Savior. The Christmas tree, in its
present style Of usage, can be
traced back only as far as the six
teenth century. During the mid
die ages it appeared at Strassburg.
For two hundred years the fashion
maintained itself along the Rhine.
Suddenly, at the beginning of this
century it spread all over Ger
many, and fifty years later had
conquered Christendom. In 1890
the tree was introduced into Mum
ieh by Queen Caroline. At the
same time the custom was spread
through Bohemia and Hungary.
In 1910 the Duchess Helena of
of Orleans brought it to the Tuile-
ries. Twenty years later German
residents Of Paris could only with
great difficulty procure a Christ
mas tree Today Paris uses al
most hundred thousand, only
about onefourth being bought by
Swiss, Germans and Alsatians.
The French plant the tree with its
roots in tub SO that it can be pre-
served until New Year, when it +
shorn of its decorations.ss
The marriage OF Queen Victoria
to Alderman Prince augmented the
Christmas trees popularity in
England. German immigrants
brought the tree to America and it
was soon adopted by all classes.
