CURIOUS CHRISTMAS cuBUoMsk

In Germany. on Christmas eve, the
whole household prepares for church,
where a simple but impressive ser
vice is always held The worshipers
are always armed with lighted can

church IN darkness. He places his
lighted candle before him, and, as
one after another appears, fresh can
dies flash cut, till the buildign resent

Christmas greetings are heard on

children hasten to the churches which
are appropriately decorated, and later
the adults attend. The time out-of-

legends around blazing hearth is
still most popular and a really good
raconteur Is ever welcome. Both
Norwegans and Swedes are noted for
their hospitality, which extends not
only to domestic pets, but to wild
birds.

was the custom to bring it into the

ment
The Yule log was always lighted
with the brand of the last years log,
which was carefully preserved for
this purpose. The burning of the
log had the effect of purifying the
house OF evil spirits. 1t must be light
ed, therefore, with clean hands.
With the Yuie log went the Christ
mas candles, which were lighted at
the same time and placed, wreathci
with evergreen, in the most conspicu-
GUS portion of the room. In Catholic
times the candles were often of three
branches, signifying the Trinity.
