11 are united
in holiday joy
Christians in all parts of the world
celebrate Christmas, the happiest and
busiest time of the year. Some observe the
holiday solemnly with religious ceremonies
and prayer. Others look forward to holiday
parties and exchanging gifts. All are united
in their feelings of joy on the birthday of
Jesus Christ.
In England
Children hang their stockings by the
fireplace in Great is ritain, in le hope that
Father Christmas will fill them with holiday
treats.
And, even though the Christmas tree can
be found in most homes, it has not replaced
the "Kissing ;: ough," a combination of holi-
day greenery and mistletoe.
The popular wassail bowl was introduced
into England in the late 1400s, by King
Henry VIII. This heady mixture of hot ale,
spices and roasted apples is a tradition
observed since that time. The word wassail
comes from the Old English words that
mean "be thou well." .
In Ireland
A charming Iris,. custom is observed on
the day after Christmas, St. Stephen's Day.
Young children find a wren, which is then
placed in a cage atop a bush. The children
then go from door to door, collecting money
for charity.
IN ITALY
On the day before Christmas, many
Italians fast or take very little food. ,
At the day's end, the family holds a
ceremony around the Presipio, a miniature
scene of Bethlehem with the figures of the
.Holy Family, the Wise Men and the
shepherds.
The family prays as the mother places the
figure of. the Infant Jesus in the manger.
Gifts are saved for Epiphany, January 6.
