To begin with as any scholar can tell you, the early church was built upon pagan rites, some of which have been adpoted.

Christmas to the Italians Becom ing to most authorities is a carry over from the mid winter least held at the end of the Roman cal endar (which we use to this day), anil substituted in those days for Amat-iz-an Tho nWoivin 0. The exact dale of the birth of Christ being a bit arbitrary, early xisnops in Rome decided to celebrate the Di-.U nn tltie rtnv nllnwinP an PK- cuse for persecuted Christians to gather in large numoers. in paean days and in the modern Church, the period between midwinter feast and before 40 llays before the first full moon of the fourth moon (Easter) was devoted to par tying and the social season when the farmers and soldiers were home and no crops could be plan; d. Forty days before Easier, called Lent today, was for fasting, privation, preparing and planting the fields and training for war.

So Christmas to the Italians is slill a wonderful feast day when all the family, ill the aunts and un cles, brothers and sisters, cousins and children get together. Shops display huge gift boxes of wines, cordials, brandies, liqueurs, cakes, sweets, candies, bonbons, pilster ics, everything Imaginable. The family begins dinner about 8, eats and drinks through the evening, then in the late evening everybody goes out for a walk or promenade, to meet their friends, show off fes tive winter clothes (Christmas really starts tne cold weather in Rome) chat, then they all go to gether in sprawled out groups to the Cathedral, say at about 11:30 or 11:45 p. m. Usually the churches are so packed few squeeze in for Mass, most listen to the bells ring out, then go back home or to a cafe to celebrate a bit more, anil so to bed. Churches in Italy, by the way, are open at odd hours; from 6 or 7 or 8 a. m. to one, then shut tight until 4, are opened then and closed at sunset. Special masses and eve ning vespers are posted (pasted like billboards on the church out side) and one church in a district, like drug-stores, Is open at night for this.

Santa Maria Maggiore has some very fine sec ond century Christian mosaics (pictures made of tiny pieces of (Continued On Page 16) PRECHRISTMAS PARTY AT CORNWELL HOME ENJOYED BY CLUB MEMBERS Mr. and Mrs. I,.
