Christmas Scene:
St. Francis Set The Stage
Did you ever wonder about the origin 0 the custom of displaying
the Christ Child in the crib at Christmas time? These displays hat e be
come increasingly popular, so that this Christmas we find manger scenes
in churches, store windows, even in outdoor locations.
Credited with the idea of the first display is St. Francis of Assisi, who
is reported to have said to one of his followers: "I wish to celebrate
Holy Christmas night with you. In the woods near the cloister you will
find 4 cave where we shall arrange a manger filled with hay. We shall
have an ox and an ass just as at Bethlehem. I wish to see how poor and
miserable the Infant Saviour became for us."
This was in the small village of Garcia, in Italy, in the year 1200.
St. Francis and his followers celebrated mass at the cave and sang hymns
in honor of the Christ Child.
Mistletoe Once
Symbol Of Evil
The mistletoe, once a weapon of
death, later became to be consid
ered as a magical medicine, is
now a universal symbol of love
and peace.
It was with a mistletoe arrow (ac
cording to Norse mythology) that
Lokl killed Balder, the sun god,
after Balder's mother had ob
tained a promise from all living
things, other than the mistletoe,
that they would not harm him
Balder was restored to life and it
was ruled by the gods that the
mistletoe would never again be
used to do harm.
Ancient Europeans considered
the mistletoe a magical medicine.
They carried it about with them
for health and luck, and believed
it a cure for ulcers and epilepsy
as well as a charm promoting fer
tility.
The present day custom of giv
ing a kiss of love or peace be
neath the mistletoe, although a
relatively modern one, is derived
from the fact that down through
the centuries the mistletoe has
been recognized throughout the
whole world as a symbol of lasting
peace.

Gift-Giving Custom
In Ancient England
One of the most plausible ver
sions of the origin of the custom
of giving gifts at Christmas time
is the one saying it began in Eng
land.
In the days of the knights, it
was custom to hang kissing rings
in the great halls. These rings
were decorated with mistletoe and
beneath them would meet the
young knights and ladies, each
bringing Christmas roses to their
secret love.
As times changed, so did cus
toms, and roses gave way for oth
er personal gifts at Christmas
time.
