TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE

RANDOM TIDBITS
One of the most popular Christmastime accoutrements, holly
has sharp edges, symbolic of the crown of thorns worn by
Jesus at his crucifixion. The red berries represent blood.
***
The first commercial Christmas card sold was designed by
London artist John Calcott Horsley. He was hired by a wealthy
British man to design a card that showed people feeding and
clothing the poor with another picture of a Christmas party.
The first Christmas card said, "Merry Christmas and a happy
New Year to you." Of the original one thousand cards he
printed for Henry Cole, only twelve exist today.
***
Some scholars suspect that Christians chose to celebrate
Christ's birth on December 25 to make it easier to convert
the pagan tribes. Referring to Jesus as the "light of the
world" also fit with existing pagan beliefs about the birth
of the sun. The ancient "return of the sun" philosophy had
been replaced by the "coming of the son" message of
Christianity.

The word yule meant ?infant? in the language of the
Chaldeans, who lived in the Middle East. The Germanic
tribes of Northern Europe, including the Anglo Saxons,
celebrated ?Yule-day? or ?Child's Day.? The custom of the
Yule log has been noted in France and Italy as far back as
the 1200s. It later spread throughout Europe. On Christmas
Eve an enormous log would be cut and placed in the hearth.
The log would be sprinkled with salt, oil, and mulled wine,
and prayers said to protect the house from the Devil and
lightning.
***
The modern Christmas custom of displaying a wreath on the
front door of one's house, is borrowed from ancient Rome's
New Year's celebrations. Romans wished each other "good
health" by exchanging branches of evergreens. They called
these gifts strenae after Strenia, the goddess of health.
It became the custom to bend these branches into a ring
and display them on doorways.
***
Silent Night was written in 1818, by an Austrian priest
Joseph Mohr. He was told the day before Christmas that the
church organ was broken and would not be prepared in time
for Christmas Eve. He was saddened by this and could not
think of Christmas without music, so he wanted to write a
carol that could be sung by choir to guitar music. He sat
down and wrote three stanzas. Later that night the people
in the little Austrian Church sang "Stille Nacht" for the
first time.
