+ FIRST CHRISTMAS FEAST. /

The first feast to be celebrated on
Dec. 20 was established by Commodus,
emperor of Rome, who rcigned about
1S5 years after the birth Of Christ.
After that there are many references
In history to meetings of the new sect
called Christians. who gathered on this
day to celebrate the birth of the God
man. 1T is not until century after
the time Of Commodus that we find
particular reference to the prosecutions
that the Christians underwent at the
hands Of the pagan emperors. culminat-
ing In Christmas day massacre
When Rome was no longer n pagan
state the feast began to be celebrated
in Christian style. and those who OBJ
served the birth Of Christ i'm those days
did so in widely separated countries
and Frequently Mt widely different pc
RODS Of time and according to no set

thing. howevcr-that the festival com

be the most magnificent Of the year.
