In Legend
end Lore
Twinkling on trees, glow-
ing from windows, glittering
everywhere, Christmas lights
reflect, today, the candles of
an earlier time.
A candle in the window can
light the Christ Child on his
way, says Irish legend.
Nativity scenes in homes,
and churches depict the ani-
mals of the Manger—and on
Christmas Eve, the cattle, the
sheep and all the animals pre-
sent at the Nativity are given
the gift of speech.
So says the lore of Christz,
mas.
Blossoming on the hOliday
scene, greens and flowers
spread their beauty and fra-
grance, reminding all of the
living wonder of Christmas.
In legend, all flowers biborn
at midnight on Christmas
Eve, just as•they did • more •
than 2,000 years•Agch.,„•00. ,
The legend' andliire""4'
Christmas expresses the sim-
ple faith that lies at the heart
of this happy, holy time.
Some of the most delightful
of legends are told in carols.
From France comes the
"Carol of the Birds." Its
words recount how the birds
flew to Bethlehem to behold
the Christ Child. Each bird,
as it flew, sang a special song
of praise and rejoicing.
There's a "Carol of the
Flowers," too: Summoned to
the presence of the newborn
King, every flower blossom-
ed, and each blossom was a
symbol of the Little One's
virtues. •
Seafaring peoples; in their
own way, related, nature's
wonders to the miracle of the
Nativity, through carols..
"I SaW Three Ships Come „
Sailing" tells of ships 'croSi-
ing the sea on Christmas
morn, bearing Jesus, Mary
and Joseph:.

tradition that dictates Scot-

But that's not all. People used to Compete vigorously
for the honor of being a
first-footer, and ran races
from dOor to door. Their
hosts might or might not be

a woman, it Meant bad luck
