1 TREE DECORATIONS ! SYMB0LIZE MYTHS

You may not realize t. but most of the ornaments on your Christ mas tree are symbols Of myths and legends that were popular three thousand years before the birth eI Christ.
 At that time the Aryian race. living in the foothills of the Him alaya mountains. saw in the rays of the rising sun. bent as they pas sed through the humid air. the image of a gigantic tree. These sun poets added to the tree image suggestions from the more distant heavens: the sun. the moon and the stars became the golden fruit that hung on the branches. The larger clouds suggested birds. swans and doves flying in and about the tree. The golden flash of heat lightning became the mys- tieal flower that grew on the tree. the celestial mistletoe. The showers that watered the tree came from tn streams al its base.
 From these fragmentary old leg ends in folklore We get the tree itself, the golden tinsel to repre- sent the rising sun. the golden fruit for stars and the moon. swans | and doves for clouds. mistletoe for lightning and showers or streamers Of silver tinsel for water.

This move toward using the
vernacular - Germany. France
and Holland are among the
countries using the native
language In parts of the liturgy
has the approval of the Holy
See but does not have anything
to do with the saying Of the
mass. The mass viii still be
said in Latin.
Latin Timeless Language.
Latin has been kept through
the ages because the language
will not change and therefore
the meaning of the words viii
be accurate and timeless. Mod
ern languages change rapidly.
A person trying to read 10th
century English today would find
many words whose meaning has
been entirely lost for general
purposes, and some terms whose
current meanings are far from
the original ones.
The value of using English,
however, is obvious as few peo-
pie are familiar with Latin and
therefore do not fully under
stand what is taking place. The
translation will give an appre-
citation to the ceremony that
otherwise would be lost.
In accepting the book, Arch
bishop Cicognani said he was
pleased to know that the English
language which has served so
well in the propagation Of the
faith in many lands" has re-
ceived the recognition of being
admitted into the liturgy of the
church.
"This recognition" he con-
tinued, sis given without preju-
dice to Latin, the universal Ian
guage of the Roman rite, which
Rome and the church have made
sacred and which is a strong
bond of unity for the clergy
throughout the world" 3
Sees Greater Devotion.
The Most Rev. Edward F.
Hoban of Cleveland in a letter
to the Universe Bulletin. diocesan
paper, said 81 am confident that
by carefully observing the limits
Of the grant, the vernacular will
promote a greater appreciation
Of the meaning and beauty of
the rites, and will inspire greater
devotion and more fruitful recep-
ton of the Sacraments and the
sacramentals Of our faith"
Pointing out that the use of
English would have great practi-
cal value for the church and lay
men, Archbishop O'Hara cited
baptism to illustrate his point.
There are / million baptisms
year." the prelate said. "Usu-
ally 5 or 10 people are standing
around during the ceremony.
When the form is administered
in English, it will mean at least
/ million instruction classes in
the meaning Of baptism"
A priest pointed out that hav-
ing the ceremony in English
would be most helpful where
there is a mixed marriage.
''It would explain the reasons
for different parts Of the cere-
mony and make 1t ineligible
and more understandable" he
noted.
