  • Plant Symbols of Christmas by Lydia Holley
    HENDERSON COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS (HCMG) WEEKLY NEWS ARTICLE December 23, 2019 Plant Symbols of Christmas By Lydia Holley Have you ever wondered about the different plants we use to celebrate Christmas and what they symbolize? There are numerous plants we use during this time of year, and almost all have some type of meaningful representation. These are a fun way to introduce the meaning of Christmas into your holidays. It is practical to use evergreens during the winter, instead of deciduous plants which lose their leaves. But evergreens also represent eternal life, so that is another reason we use a lot of evergreens for decorating during Christmastime. One of the largest plants we welcome into our homes at this time is the Christmas tree. It is a part of most everyone’s Christmas celebration. Not only can it be festooned with ornaments which portray various symbols of Christmas, but the entire tree’s triangular shape symbolizes the Trinity. Wreaths are hung on the door to welcome the Christmas spirit. Wreaths now come in different shapes and with various adornments, but it was originally just a plain circle of evergreen boughs. This shape represents eternity. You may recall this same symbolism in the wedding ring. Rosemary represents remembrance. This is the perfect time to reflect and remember your loved ones, those present and those passed, and to remember the deeper meaning of the season. Holly, with its prickly leaves, represents Jesus’ crown of thorns. The red berries are symbolic of Christ’s blood. Holly was thought to be a male plant, and in the Christmas carol, “The Holly and the Ivy”, holly symbolizes Christ.

  • Caer Feddwyd - Articles - the Holly Tree 12/25/12 8:02 PM
    Caer Feddwyd - Articles - The Holly Tree 12/25/12 8:02 PM The Holly Tree (c) Blackbird Hollins 2003 With a surname like mine, it's not hard to guess that the holly holds a particular fascination for me. It seems that many people down the ages have shared this fascination; the holly tree holds a very special place in our hearts. This is shown by the wealth of customs and superstitions associated with it. In particular, it is, of course, linked to the Winter Solstice celebrations. It has become intrinsic to this period, with the leaves and berries conjuring images of Yule, of Christmas, of Saturnalia. It has decorated our homes and places of worship at this time in countless countries and cultures down the ages. Pagan tree lore - or more specifically - Celtic tree lore is a very problematic area of study. Like many areas of paganism, what we consider ancient is often relatively modern, and much of our Celtic tree lore, such as the tree calendar, and popular interpretations of the Ogham and tree alphabets, date back only as far as Mr Robert Graves, a writer of great insight, whose poetic musings are too often interpreted as historical fact. So, much as I admire Mr Graves and his contributions to neo-paganism, I'm attempting here to circumnavigate his work, and to delve back further into the misty realms of folklore and heritage. Firstly, let us take a look at the botanical attributes of the holly. It is one of the easiest trees to recognise, with its trademark dark green spiked leaves and blood-red berries.

    Trees for Life - Mythology and Folklore of the Holly 12/25/12 8:07 PM Email Update Sign up Help us plant a million more trees Search Home About Us Caledonian Forest Dedicate a Tree or Grove Support Us What's New? Conservation Weeks Shop Corporate Support Mythology and Folklore of the Holly For most of us the sight of holly leaves and berries is inextricably linked with Christmas, whether we celebrate this as a secular or a religious festivity. Christmas brings with it many traditions and it is probably the one time when many of us still practice at least a few old folklore customs today. Indeed in some parts of Britain holly was formerly referred to merely as Christmas, and in pre- Victorian times 'Christmas trees' meant holly bushes. Though holly doubtless was, and still is, brought into the house for its shiny green leaves and berries, which reflect the light and add colour to the dark days of Yule, it has another significance as well. Christian symbolism connected the prickly leaves with Jesus' crown of thorns and the berries with the drops of blood shed for humanity's salvation, as is related, for example, in the Christmas carol, 'The Holly and the Ivy'. Yet even here the reference to these two plants refers to a pre- Christian celebration, where a boy would be dressed in a suit of holly leaves and a girl similarly in ivy, to parade around the village, bringing Nature through the darkest part of the year to re-emerge for another year's fertility.

  • A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols 2020
    KING’S COLLEGE CHAPEL A FESTIVAL OF NINE LESSONS AND CAROLS Christmas Eve 2020 at 3 pm A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SERVICE A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols was first held at King’s on Christmas Eve 1918. It was planned by Eric Milner-White, who had just been appointed Dean after experience as an army chaplain; this experience convinced him that the Church of England needed more imaginative worship. Evensong, topped and tailed with carols, had been the Christmas Eve service until then but the young Dean, only thirty-four at the time, decided that there was scope for something a little more imaginative. The 1918 service was adapted from an order drawn up by E. W. Benson for use at 10 pm on Christmas Eve in 1880, in the large wooden ‘shed’ which then served as his Cathedral in Truro. A. C. Benson recalled: ‘My father arranged from ancient sources a little service for Christmas Eve – nine carols and nine tiny lessons, which were read by various officers of the Church, beginning with a chorister, and ending, through the different grades, with the Bishop.’ Milner-White used Benson’s plan, but wrote the now- classic Bidding Prayer to set the tone at the beginning. Since then the spoken parts, which provide the backbone of the service, have only occasionally been changed. The service was first broadcast in 1928 and, with the exception of 1930, it has been broadcast annually, even during the Second World War, when the ancient glass had been removed from the Chapel – some say you could hear the tar-paper flapping in the background over the radio.
