Christmas Customs

(Continued from Page t)

_ fruit trees - cherry or plum was preierred. The legend was that this brought prosperity to the fields of France.

The custom was not without s certain ceremony in this case also. 1t. was believed that the tree should be cut down just before sunrise on Christmas day A piece about four feet long was used. it was tired on December ﬁth and it was allowed to burn just a little every day until January 6th, the "Fete des Rois" (Feast 0t the Wise Men). Whatever was ieit over. having been blessed. was saved and burned in time of storms.

In some of the village churches in Bourgogne s yule log was cut and laid at the foot of the altar where it was blessed. There it re- mained all during the Christmas services.

O O I Today Che yule log is still burned in many homes and it still has a part in rural Christmas ceremon- ies in various parts of France. Brut one sees it mostly in the bakery- shao; windows. The yulo log is m e in various sizes by the past- ry-makers. It is decorated with icing and made to look as much as possible lilte the real thing. This, rather than the fruit cake or plum- prudding of the English. is the CH- sert for Christmas dinner. .

Christmas Trees in France

The Christmas tree is of relat- ively recent origin in France. It did not appear in Paris until 1840 although it had been n part oi the Christmas custom in Alsace Lor- raine tor several centuries.

ln the middle ages in these east- ern provinces oi’ ﬁance it was the oustomot the people to go into the pine forests and select a tree. Then the villagers would gather around it and sing the Christmas carols of those days. Flinally s good work- man would cut the little tree down and one of the men selected for the honour. would carry it at the head of s. procession. The others would follow him carrying burning torchu.

Under the stars. with the snow sparkling in the light of the burn- lng torches it was, at one and the same time. a religious procession and a festive one tor the villagers were celdbrating the birth of Christ.

The little tree was carried back to the village church where it was given a place of honour during the Christmas services,

Gradually the custom changed and the people began to lake the trees into their homes. At first the tree was a part of the family altar and marked a place of worship in in the home. Gradually the signifi- cance changed and the tree, as in anglo-saxon countries. now sym- bolizes the Children's day as well.

It is interesting to know, por- haps. that at the beginning oi the war in 1039 all the people-several hundred thousands - were moved from the City of Strasbourg into the middle of France because it was feared that they might be bombed. People were moved in something like 36 hours and could take little with them. In the Perigord district where they were taken, they were billeted in the homes of local fami- lies. As Christmas approached the Alsacians were longing to be home and they could not imagine spend- ing the season except in the cust- omary way, But the people oi Peri- gord had never had the custom of Christmas trees and the country- side did not provide the little iir

CHARLOTTETCTWTN

l children of Btrﬂlbml!‘ in the Peri-

gord ares should have their Christ.- mss trees. so apecisl arrangements were made and trees were brought from Alsace. O! course it was im- possible to have them in the homes. but they were placed in all the schools and in mibllc buildings. The women in Paris gathered gifts tor the children and the children themselves had the joy of making the decorations.

Today the children oi Strasbourg have returned to their own homes in Alsace but behind them they have left the custom of the Christmas tree.
