CHRISTMAS
BY Louise Bond

The feast Of Christ's birth IS Oh
served by the Christian church annual
ly on the 18th of December. 1t was
according to many authorities, not
celebrated in the first centuries NJ III
Christian church, as the Christian
usage in general was to celebrate tbe
death Of remarkable persons rather
than their birth. The death Of The
martyr Stephen and the massacre W
the innocents at Bethlehem, had al
ready been long celebrated. when per.
haps IN opposition to the doctrine Of
the Manichaens respecting the birth y
the Saviour, a feast was established in
memory of this event in the 4th CEN
fury. In the 5th century the Western
Church ordered it to be celebrated for
ever on the day Of the old Roman
feast Of the birth of Sol though no
certain knowledge Of the day "
Christ's birth existed. Among the
German and Celtic tribes the winter
solstice was considered an important
point OF the year, and they held their
chief festival of YuIe to commemorate
the return Of the burning-wheel. The
holly, the mistletoe. the Yule log. and
the wassail bowl relate more to pagan
ism than to Christianity. In the east
Christmas was celebrated on January
8. AS told in the Gospel Of St. Luke
Christ was born during the night of
24-25 DECEMBER, from which circum-
stance Christmas is called in German
Weihnachten, a contraction Of the old
German re win nahten, on the holy
or consecrated nights. The feasts "
the MARTYR Stephen and the evangelist
St. John were united with it, and 4
feast OF three days continuance was
thus formed. In the ecclesiastical year
this festival gives the name to a period
extending from the first Sunday IF
Advent to the feast of Epiphany. Ian.
uary 6. In the Roman Catholic
churches the manger and the HOLY
Family are sometimes represented at
large. Most Christian churches cele-
brate this great festival in some way
and practically the entire community
in Christian countries, including Jews
and non-churchgoing people nominally
classed with Christian populations
join in its social observance. In the
United States, England, and other
countries, business is commonly sus-
pended, although in Scotland this is
only partially the case. The custom
of making presents at Christmas is
derived from an old heather usage;
but it has become consecrated by ages
and contributes greatly to make this
festival an interesting event to fam
lilies. The sending Of Christmas cards
by way Of friendly greeting has grown
up within period Of some fifty years
The Christmas tree has been traced
back to the Romans. 1t went from
Germany to Great Britain, and is al
most universal in the United States
where the customs Of SO many ma
tionalities meet and gradually blend
into common usage.
