Little Known and Unusual Facts About Christmas The spell of Christmas has exer- cised a mystic influence on humanity all down the ages. There is no auth- entic record of the day nor the month of the birth af Christ, but at various times -it has been attributed to every month in the calendar., It was first celebrated on Decem- ber 25th at Rome about the middle of the fourth century. Previusly January 6th (the bepteamal date) was the day on whidh bath feasts were celebrated. Even today the Armenian Church knows nothing of December 25th. They still follow the old way and celebrate the Nativity and the Epiph- any together on January 6th. The Feast of the Epiphany--com- reemorating the 'visit of the Three Wise Men of the East to the Christ Child— can be traced beck to the second century, and even before that a pagan ritual had always been ob- served on that day. From Rome Christmas spread throughout the West, and came to England with St. Augustine, who; on Christmas Day in the year 598 baptized more theta 10,000 English converts. Noel, another name foe Christmas, which we have boerowed from the French, although for centuries used in connection with the birth of Chris, Was previously used to celebrate an- other birthday—that of the uncon- quered sun, who ,at the winter sol- stice, December 25, reached the point of his most southerly journey, and then began his upward climb in the heavens with renewed vigour. This was naturally a cause for great re- joicing among primitive peoples who depended entirely upon the moods of nature for a good or poor living. The explanation adopted by most scholars for the pagan and the Christian festivals being on the same day is that the founders of the Christian Church, fearing to change too drastically the habits of the peo- ple whose allegiance they wished to secure, refrained from abolishing the old pagan feasts, but •adapted them to the Christian. calendar. Yule is the Danish name for Christmas. Its origin is lost in an- tiquity, but in pagan times it rep- resented a two -mantle tide, cavering the second half of November to the first half of January. The old pagan customs which later melted into the Christian festivities were magical rites invoking prospenity erom the gods for the, coming year. New Year Day is thus a far older feast than Christmas, and in pagan times three days at least were given up to riotous life, banqueting and licence. Christmas was not only the warm, jovial fest it is today. To the early Christians their religion was essent- ially one of renunciation. To St. „Francis It is to St. Francis of Assisi, known to prosperity as the patron saint of animals, that we owe the humanizing of Christmas. This Italian monk of the thirteenth cen- tury, while not underestimating the divine side of the Nativity, was the first to realize the full poetry of the Christmas. The son of a silk mer- chant, his appeal was made chiefly to the traders and workmen of the cities, and the growing influence of him and his followers, the Francis- CEITIS, was the means of bringing a warm, human aspect of Christianity home to the people. To $t. Francis the Divine Child was the "Little Brother"' of all mankind. When the common people once grasped the story of Christmas, it immediately became imbued with the idea a love and brotherhood, and gradually, through many phases Christmas became the homely festiv- al it ie today. Carols as we know them were not introduced into England until the fifteenth certtelhere %range to tee - late, rthe yelrd "carol" has a secu- lar and even pagan meaning. Ira twelfth century France, it was used to describe singing joined with danc- ing and had no connection whatever with religion. Whether Christmas Carols were ever danced to in England is doubt- ful but, many of them have a lilt and glee which could easily be as- sociated with dancing. In Germany, however, old records tell us that there was choral dancing at Christmas round the 'cradle of the Christ Child. a University or country than its con- tributions -to science. Outlining some of the characteristics which he held to be essential in every research work- er, he listed: a "transparenflionesty," so that the scientist, could not de- ceive even himself; an =selfishness, leeving roam. for -team-work and co- operation; an observant mind; tena- city; imagination; a sacraficial na- ture, and, above all else, common sense. "Any one of us", he declared "will accomplish, within reason, all we set out to do, if we week hard enough and long enough." There will be increased interest in medical eeeearch in Canada as a re - stile of the new Ottawa project, and Canadine generally will no doubt agree with Sir Frederick Banding, when he suggests that tha drafters of University curricula provide for opportunities for students to do some miginal thinking.
