To-day is Christmas Day-the most holy,
yet the most happy. of all days OF the
year. The question OF whether December
IS is really the anniversary OF the birth
of Christ was for a long time a mooted
one. In the earliest periods OF which we
have any record We find this feast WAS
observed at various periods. the ist and
9Th OF January being the dates on which
"A portion of the Christians celebrated Il;
others doing SO on March -. the time
OF the Jewish Passover. while yet
others selected September -, that being
the Feast OF Tabernacles"
There were those also who observed II
on April 70, while an authority writing
on the subject states that IN Egypt
Christ was believed 10 have been born
on January g. For a long time the Greeks
celebrated our Lords birth on the Feast
OF Epiphany. In a sermon preached by
St Chrysostom az Antioch on December
g, in $50 he says: 1T Is not ten years
since this day Christmas. December 20
was clearly known 10 US: but il has been
familiar from the beginning to those who
dwell in the West The Romans have from
the earliest days celebrated Christmas
on December y. and thus from ancient
tradition transmitted the knowledge 20
US"
The "Rirchenlexikon," an accepted and
undoubted authority, says that: "rhe spe-
cial feast in honor OF the Saviour's birth
was introduced In the year SSf under
Pope Iiberius. and soon after in Con-
stantinople in SIS: but previous 10 this
the feast was celebrated upon Epiphany.
Chambers names Pope julius as having
introduced the feast in the church ritual;
but if s54 the year named by the "kirch-
enlexikon" is correct, julius could not
have promulgated the office, for he died
in So. and Liberius was chosen as his
successor.
The name given By the ancient Goths
and Saxons 10 the festival of the winter
s0lst!ce was Jal. or Yule, the latter term
forming TO the present day the designa-
ton in the Scottish dialect Of Christmas
and preserved also in the name of the
Yule log Perhaps the etymology OF no
term has excited any greater discussion
among antiquarians. The most probable
derivation Of the word is from the Gothic
'gigtll. ." or "hiul," the origin of the mod
ern word wheel" and bearing the same
significance. According 10 this very prob
able explanation, the Yule festival re-
ceived its name from being the turning
points OF the year or the period at which
the fiery orb of day made a revolution IN
its annual circuit and entered his north
ern tourney. \ confirmation OF this view
is afforded by the circumstance that in
the old clog almanacs a wheel rs the
device employed for marking the season
al Yuletide.
