easanism Gradually Gave Place to
Christianity and the observ.
ance of Christmas.

When paganism gave place to Chris
tianity certain of the old festivals
were spiritualized and transformed
and became Christian observances.
The change was gradual, and it was
not until the third century that there
was any special observances of the
nativity. Professor Schaff explains it
in these words:
"The artistic religious impulses
which produced the whole church year
ultimately called into existence the
festival which forms the groundwork
of all other annual festivals In honor
of Christ"
Thus, Christmas came to be cele-
brated during the season when the
old heather winter holidays were for
merly observed, and the old pagan
cycle of festivals was superseded and
sanctified by the Christmas cycle of
holidays. The giving of presents and
the use of lights were among those
transferred customs. AS they were
