Early Yuleiide
Thought Pagan
By Christians

Christmas, like any other bless
ed institution, has had to fight its
battles. The first great enemy of
Christmas was the Roman
empire whose pagan emperors
determined to blot out all kinds
of Christian rites.
Then when Roman Emperor
Constantine Christianized the
empire other enemies of Christ
mas arose. One course of conten-
ton was: Is December 25 really
Christmas? Some said Christ was
born on January 6; others held
for March 80. Some set April 81
as His birthday. Nobody knew
with complete confidence just
when to celebrate Christmas. At
last, in the fourth century, Pope
Julius / settled the matter in
favor of our present date. His
decision was universally accept
ed.
From the first there had been
among Christians certain hos
tility toward the Christmas fes-
tival. The celebration of birth
days in general was considered
heathenish and something taken
over from the pagans. Nor did
the enemies of Christmas fail to
observe that many pagan customs
had crept into the feastings of the
day. Christmas and the days of
Advent that go before it occur
at the time of the winter solstice,
when the days cease to grow
shorter, and begin to lengthen-
when the sun, having declined its
furthest from zenith, begins to
climb again. The period was one
of festival in many parts of the
world, and was held sacred by
many religions. Then occurred
the Roman Saturnalia, with its
wild excesses, and the people of
the north, too, had a great mid
winter feast with days of hearty
eating and deep drinking. 1t was
only natural that some of the old
pagan rites peculiar to the season
should be held over and incorpo-
rated into the rejoicings of
Christmas.
From the Saturnalia came ban
quetings and dancing and riotings
in masks and the giving of gifts.
Our Christmas dinner and Christ
mas presents and Christmas cards
and the wearing of Christmas
masks in various parts of the
world date back to the Satur-

The four day Inaugural cele-

Brown, President of the Ohio

MALTA. The mid-winter feast of
the northern peoples was called
Yule, hence our Yuletide and
Yule log. The burning of the
Christmas log descends from
northern tree worship. So does
the Christmas tree. The ancient
Druids gave Christmas its holly
and mistletoe.
Santa Claus seems to date from
later Christian times. He is good
st. Nicholas, of course. The hang
ing of stockings comes from the
legend that the saint, among his
other charities, used to provide
doweries for poor girls. The old
er form of the Christmas stock
ing custom was for poor girls to
hang up stockings in the hope
that benevolent st. Nicholas
would place marriage portions in
them.
