Celebrated Christmas
With Biblical Play

M ANY curious feasts arose in con-
Xk nection with the celebration of
Christmas in early days. Thus
the ass on which BALKAN rode in the
"Reims Mystery" won for the feast
the title "Festum AsinOrum," the feast
of the asses. AS it was celebrated in
France, according to William Hone, ii
consisted almost entirely of dramatic
show. On one occasion the clergy
walked on Christmas day in process
sion, habited to represent the prophets
and other characters.
Moses appeared in an alb and cope
with a long beard and rod. David
had a green vestment. BALKAN, with
an immense pair of spurs, rode on a
wooden ass, which inclOsed a speaker.
There were also six Jews and six gen
tiles. Among other characters the
poet vergil was introduced, singing
monkish rimes. They moved in pro.
cession through the body of the church
chanting versicles and conversing on
the life of Christ till they came into
the choir.
This service. as performed in the
cathedral at Rouen, commenced with
a procession in which the clergy rep
resented the prophets of the Old Tesla
ment, who foretold the birth of Christ
Then followed BALKAN mounted on the
ass, Zacharias. Elizabeth, John the
Baptist, the Sibyl, Erythree, Simeon

prophets in the furnace.-Washingto

And there were in the !
same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keep !
ing watch over their flock
by night.
And, 10. the angel of the
Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone
round about them; and -;
they were sore afraid. ,
And the angel said unto
them, fear not; for, behold,
l bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to
all people.
For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord.
And this shall be a sign
unto you. Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swad-
. ding clothes, lying in a
manger.
And suddenly there was
with the angel multitude
of heavenly host praising
God, and saying,
Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as
the angels were gone away
, from them into heaven, the
shepherds said one to an
other: Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem, and see
! this thing which is come to
pass, which the Lord hath
: made known unto us.
{ And they came with
: haste, and found Mary, and
{ Joseph, and the babe lying
{ in a manger.
s And when they had seen
) it, they made known abroad
! the saying which was told

2 And all they that heard
{ it wondered at those things
