The Chanute times., 1912-12-13

YRlAD are tne myths and
legends that cluster around
the Christmas tree. Its origin
takes us far back into pre-
historic times when our skin
clad savage ancestors were
tree worshippers and believ-
ed that a god or goddess
dwelt in the evergreen. Long
prior to the Christian era, the
fir tree was used in Rome in
the December holiday festiVi-
ties of the Saturnalia and Its
branches were decked with
little yellow jeweled images
of pagan divinities, especially
The Chanute times., 1912-12-13

of Bacchus. 49, n,,,,s .,
In the Yuletide celebrations OF the Drulus o'
ancient Britain, the evergreen nau Ia
place with ivy holly and mistletoe Inc Drulus
beIiavad that the evergreens sheltered the good
snirits of the air who fed them at the approach
of cold weather.
There is a Scandinavian myth that tells of the
tree that sprang from the blood-soaKeu grouhu
where two lovers met violent death, ana OF
mysterious lights that lowered about the tree al
Christmas time. At the period of the winter sol
stice the ancient Egyptians decorated tneir
houses with palm leaves which symbolized I'M
mortality and the starry sky. AT this period OF
the year the ancient Persians decorated the plane
tree with ornaments and jewels.
An old German tradition gives Saint Wilfred
the credit of Transforming the tree worship OF the
savage Teutons to Christian ceremony. 1t was
about the year 725 that he led party OF priests
into central Germany for the conversion OF the
worshipers of god Thor. Prince Gregor, the
grandson of a king, with him, having been
intrusted to his by the abbess OF the cloister
phalzel. On Christmas eve they we're fighting
their way through the snow Of the forest when
they came upon the heather tribe of Geismar
They were assembled under the thunder oak,
symbolic Of the power of Thor, and were pre-
pared to offer up sacrifice The white-haired
priest of the heathens had chosen the young SOD
of the chief as the farest possession Of the tribe
and he was to be offered, for the god was very
hungry and needed the utmost atonement
AS the venerable priest raised his stone hatchet
on hiRh and brought It down to kill the boy,
who was ready, prepared for the stroke. Winfred
appeared and warded on the blow with his stan.
The people we're gratihed at his saving OF their
favorite and allowed him speech and he gave
them the Christian creed. Then he and the
Prince Gregor took their axes and cut down the
Thunder Oak AS 1t was ready to fall the light
ming came and split it in many parts and 1t fell
asunder The waiting tribe then beheld in its
place a slender fir tree. green and sparkling and
odorous WInfred bade the tribesmen bear this
tree to the hall OF Grundhar. the chieftain. to
there assemble about 1t and make merry. About
this first Christmas tree the wild men Of the
woods first heard the tale Of the shepherd boy
and the fields Of Judah and It gripped their sturdy
hearts The tribes became Christian and ever
after used the fir tree a token Of the day OF
Christs birth
