God love you! Christmas, 1979 The major religious feast of the year and principal v,i holiday of the western world, commemorating the birth of Jesus, is celebrated on December 25, though it is not really certain this is the date on which Jesus was born. Various scholars have fixed the date in April, May, January and in other months. Christmas was first observed in the second and third centuries, and our name for the day dates from the eleventh century in England and "Cristes Maesse." The giving of presents, which is a solidly entrenched custom in the United States, was taken from the Roman custom of exchanging gifts on January 1. German Christmas carols are traced back to the , eleventh century and British and French songs, to the thirteenth. The custom of decorating the house in green stems from an early English belief that certain flowers blossomed at Christmas. The use of mistletoe stems from the Druids, who long revered the plant. The Christmas tree was first used in Germany. Some scholars believe the first occasion was in Strass- burg in 1605, though legend has it that Martin Luther decorated a green branch in his home in the preceding century. The tree did not appear in England or the United States until about 1840. The belief in Santa- Claus, as a jolly man who brought gifts, also comes to us from the Germans, derived from the legend of St. Nicholas (Santa Claus is a German corruption of the name.) Fireworks are commonly used in the South at Christmas, and this stems from Italy, Spain and France, where the custom is the same. It is thought the practice was introduced by French settlers in the Louisiana area. Christmas was, interestingly, observed earlier in the South than in the North. Its greatest meaning across the world, and in our churches and among Americans, is to spread the love of one's fellow man and peace on earth. When attention is turned to these great ideals and goals, Christmas serves the Christian purpose and is helpful to all mankind.
