There was once a common, though mistaken belief that the mistletoe grew on oak trees only, but that was so far from true that the Druids, who held the oak as absolutely sacred be cause they believed it to represent the One Supreme God, deemed the mistletoe doubly sacred if found on one, and carefully guarded it until the sixth day after the first new moon of each year. When this time arrived, priests robed in white surrounded the tree and held solemn ceremonies, among which was the sacrifice of two white bulla. A fter the ceremonies, a priest in spotless robes ascended the tree and, with a golden knife, cut the mistle toe and let it fall on to a white cloth held by other priests. The branches were then formally "blessed” and divided among the peo ple who believed the sprays given them to have miraculous powers. The common belief in the efficacy of the plant was such that It was called all-heal; but according to an old legend, a certain lover searched many days for a specimen growing on an oak tree, that he might secur« Its branches for the cure of his be trothed, who was sick unto death, but when he found It be touched the sap while cutting the branches, and fell dead near the tree, Indicating that the sap was a deadly poison.
