'Hoping all the precious
things in Life will come
An early legend says the first
C,'hristmas tree was really an ap-
ple tree. The tinsel baubles which
bedeck the modern Christmas
tree are said to represent the
fruit which for early Christians
symbolized the fall of man in the
garden of Edeh` and his recla-
mation by dKbirth of Jesus.
There arelegends, too, con-
cerning the pine tree. One says
that the Holy Family was saved
from Herod's soldiers by a pine
tree. During the flight to Egypt,
Mary was tired and they sought
shelter in the hollow trunk of
a huge fir tree. As the soldiers
approached, the tree bent its
branches to conceal the hud-
"tiled little group. The legend says
the Baby Jesus then blessed
the tree - which explains why
you can cut a pine cone length-
wise at Christmastime and
see the imprint of His little
hand.
to you this Christmas! CL - Christmas / T�'�
