While they waited for the entree
she and William were alone, sitting
at opposite ends Of the long table
watching their children dance. Each

Date of Nativity Fixed
By Roman EnDerO1

December Is was decreed as
the date of Christ's Nativity by
the Roman Emperor Julian who
began his reign as a Christian but
reverted to paganism before his
death i'm 1863 A. ID.
Julian based his decree on the
opinions advanced by the fathers
Of the Western churches.
December Is was, moreover,
acceptable to most churches and
peoples because the season Of the
winter sOlstice had always been
celebrated as . festival period
Roman Saturnalia, Scandinavian
YuIe, the Mithrasian Feast Of sol
invictus, etc. :
Some Eastern churches, how.
ever, consistently claimed Janu:
airy 6 90 Christmas and have CON-
tinued celebrating Christmas
upon that date throughout the
centuries.
