Christmas Traditions Christmas Traditions Mistletoe Vocabulary Ancient Something that is thousands of years old. Healing powers If something has healing powers it can make people become healthy again after getting sick. It was believed that the mistletoe could heal people. Fertile If you are fertile, you are able to have a baby. If the land if fertile, it is healthy and food can grow. Party goers These are people that go to parties. Tradition This is something that is part of culture and has been done for a long time. An example is giving each other gifts at Christmas. In ancient Britain, mistletoe was believed to have healing powers that could make people feel healthy again. In fact, the name for mistletoe in the Celtic languages is ‘all heal People’. Furthermore, it was also believed to make people and animals fertile, protect the house from ghosts and bring good luck. In eighteenth century England mistletoe was not used to heal people, instead, it was used to bring people together. During Christmas parties they had a kissing ball with mistletoe at the bottom, and hung it on the ceiling. The party goers would play kissing games underneath it. A kiss under the mistletoe could either mean romance or friendship. The traditions above have led to the kissing tradition that we see today all over the world. You will see them in offices, shops, homes, in fact, everywhere you go. Some people will even try to put mistletoe near the person that they want to kiss. If two people walk underneath at the same time they must kiss! If they don’t they will get bad luck. Even if it’s two men or two women. So keep your head up, and be careful not to walk under the mistletoe. However, if two people meet under the mistletoe and want more than one kiss, there is a limit to how much you can kiss under one mistletoe. For each kiss a berry must be removed and once all the berries are gone - no more kissing! So, I suggest choosing a mistletoe that has many, many berries! This is a fun tradition that is loved by everyone! Well, almost everyone.

Decorate If you decorate something, you add things to make it more beautiful. Popular If someone or something is popular, they or it are liked by many people. Nowadays This means ‘today’. Christmas trees are an integral part of Christmas around the world and you will see them in places such as homes, shopping malls and offices. But, where did the tradition come from? The tradition comes from Germany, where it is believed that a man named Martin Luther was the first person to decorate a tree with candles and bring it indoors to show his children what stars looked like at night. The idea grew and didn't become popular in Britain until the nineteenth century when Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert who was from Germany, introduced the idea to England. Nowadays, Christmas trees are decorated with lights, tinsel, baubles, chocolate figures, coins, and an angel on the top. They are beautiful at night and make Christmas even more special. The whole family usually gets together and decorates the tree, which helps in bringing together the family during Christmas. Furthermore, gifts are usually placed under the tree, waiting to be opened on Christmas Day. Chocolate figures Chocolate coins Put an angel on the top Creator: Patrick Simon McMahon Contact: [email protected] Christmas tree lights Tinsel Baubles Christmas Carols Originates from This is where something or someone came from or started from. Charity An organisation that helps people in need such as poor people. Come rain or shine This means ‘No matter what.’ To put it simply, it means 100% [percent] yes. Singing their hearts out To sing as best you can and don’t worry about what people think. Christmas spirit This is the warm, friendly feeling that people have for each other during Christmas. It is a happy time of year where people give gifts and help each other. Let your hair down To relax and have fun. Christmas carols [Christmas songs] are sung everywhere during Christmas, but where the does the idea come from? The idea originates from medieval England, a time in England from the 5th to 15th centuries, when people known as minstrels travelled from place to place to tell stories by singing. Today, they would be called Carollers. In addition, poor people in England would go wassailing, a tradition during Christmas where they would bring their cups to the doors of rich people and sing for a hot drink. The drink was called ‘Lambswool’, a traditional drink at the time. The rich people would happily give anyone who sang a drink. Creator: Patrick Simon McMahon Contact: [email protected] Today, Carollers don’t go from door to door, they usually stand in shopping malls or on the street and sing to collect money for charity. Come rain or shine, they are there singing their hearts out to try and raise money for the poor people. To listen to them sing while doing the Christmas shopping can make you feel the Christmas spirit. My suggestion is, if you see them why not join in, let your hair down, and enjoy the spirit of Christmas.

It is the shortest day of sunlight in the year. Tradition This is something that is part of culture and has been done for a long time. An example is giving each other gifts at Christmas. Nordic people These are people that come from Scandinavia. Nordic tradition These are traditions that the Nordic people created / started. Scrumptious This means that something is very delicious. Yule is the name of the old Winter Solstice festivals in Scandinavian countries such as Denmark and Sweden, and other parts of northern Europe, such as Germany. The idea of burning the Yule Log goes back to medieval times, a time in England between the 5th and 15th centuries, and began as a Nordic tradition. The Yule Log was carefully chosen and brought into the house, and the log would be burnt during the Twelve Days of Christmas, a time from the 25th December to the 6th January. Every spark that came from the fire was believed to be a new animal that was going to be born in the New Year. It was also believed to bring luck to the whole family. Nowadays in France, it is tradition for the whole family to help cut the log down and burn a little piece of log each night. Also in France, wine is poured over the Yule log before it is burnt, so that it smells nice when it is lit. In Cornwall, in the UK, the log is called 'The Mock', and in the midlands, it is called Yule Block. Creator: Patrick Simon McMahon Contact: [email protected] However, it is believed to be unlucky to light the yule log again after it has been lit, so don’t let it go out until it has all burnt away. Furthermore, during Christmas, families often sit around the Yule log, tell stories, sing Christmas carols, watch TV and have a traditional Christmas drink together. The idea of the Yule log has led to the Chocolate Yule Log [see above], a traditional dessert during Christmas. If you try it, be careful, because it is very, very sweet and very delicious. Scrumptious! Let the journey of discovery begin Creator: Patrick Simon McMahon Contact: [email protected] .

  • ABSTRACT Savannah Dehart. BRACTEATES AS INDICATORS OF
    ABSTRACT Savannah DeHart. BRACTEATES AS INDICATORS OF NORTHERN PAGAN RELIGIOSITY IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES. (Under the direction of Michael J. Enright) Department of History, May 2012. This thesis investigates the religiosity of some Germanic peoples of the Migration period (approximately AD 300-800) and seeks to overcome some difficulties in the related source material. The written sources which describe pagan elements of this period - such as Tacitus’ Germania, Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People, and Paul the Deacon’s History of the Lombards - are problematic because they were composed by Roman or Christian authors whose primary goals were not to preserve the traditions of pagans. Literary sources of the High Middle Ages (approximately AD 1000-1400) - such as The Poetic Edda, Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda , and Icelandic Family Sagas - can only offer a clearer picture of Old Norse religiosity alone. The problem is that the beliefs described by these late sources cannot accurately reflect religious conditions of the Early Middle Ages. Too much time has elapsed and too many changes have occurred. If literary sources are unavailing, however, archaeology can offer a way out of the dilemma. Rightly interpreted, archaeological evidence can be used in conjunction with literary sources to demonstrate considerable continuity in precisely this area of religiosity. Some of the most relevant material objects (often overlooked by scholars) are bracteates. These coin-like amulets are stamped with designs that appear to reflect motifs from Old Norse myths, yet their find contexts, including the inhumation graves of women and hoards, demonstrate that they were used during the Migration period of half a millennium earlier.

  • Avignon Rose Festival ,13 Desserts of Noel in Provence,Christmas Yule
    Avignon Rose Festival Rose-growers from France and abroad showcase their newest roses at AlteraRosa in the Benoit XII cloister, a lovely courtyard at the Pope’s Palace in Avignon from May 29th to June 1st 2014. Other activities at this exhibition include floral art workshops, seminars on caring for and breeding roses as well as modern uses for the rose fragrance. Arrive in Avignon early any morning (except Monday) to stroll through the outdoor market, then head over to the Pope’s Palace for the roses, giving yourself enough time to enjoy lunch in town afterward. View More Tours In Provence 13 Desserts Of Noel In Provence An age old tradition in the life of a Provençal family, are enjoyed after Gros Souper, which is equivalent to our Christmas dinner. The origin of the Thirteen Desserts seems to be part of the tradition of opulence in the Mediterranean regions. Combined with the religious element, this tradition gave the Christmas season its festive character well before gifts inundated households. The thirteen desserts are in reference to Jesus and his twelve apostles at the Last Supper. As tradition goes, there must be at least thirteen sweets available. They are all served at once, and each guest must have at least a small bite of each dessert. Upon returning from Mass, the table was set with three tablecloths representing the Holy Trinity, upon which the Thirteen Desserts were set. Based on the symbolism of the Last Supper, with Jesus surrounded by his Apostles, tradition forbids seating 13 people at the dinner table… but the rule doesn’t apply to food! Out of this Provençal tradition, we have ended up with a few mainstays and a thousand and one local adaptations.

  • Pucker Up! It's That Time of Year. Once Again the Airwaves Are Filled with Beautiful Christmas Songs. Most Convey a Message
    Yard and Garden – 12-19-2015 – Ted Griess/Extension Horticulture Assistant Pucker up! It’s that time of year. Once again the airwaves are filled with beautiful Christmas songs. Most convey a message of joy and peace on earth to all humankind. However, some Christmas tunes include in their lyrics the name of a certain plant that conveys a reason to start kissing. For example, take the song I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, or how about The Christmas Song better known as Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire? Then, there is the song I’ll Be Home for Christmas. These are just a few Christmas tunes that have in their lyrics the name of a plant scientifically known as Viscum album. Most of us know it as mistletoe. Throughout history, mistletoe has inspired all sorts of mystique and charm. It is perceived to hold magical properties. When mistletoe is in our presence, it supposedly creates an amorous atmosphere for us humans to start kissing. In contrast, this plant is actually parasitic. A parasite is defined as an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host’s expense. Mistletoe has leathery evergreen leaves with waxy white berries. It grows primarily on the branches of deciduous trees such as ash, hawthorn and oak. Deemed somewhat tropical, it is found growing mostly in areas of California and Florida. When a seed from the berry of mistletoe comes in contact with the bark of a host tree, it germinates, sending out fine thread-like roots penetrating the bark anchoring firmly into the living tissue of the host, and absorbing its nutrients.

  • The Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival
    The Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival January 3 & 4, 2015 IN THE CITY OF CINCINNATI The Festival’s roots. Oxford University’s Queens College, The Boar’s Head Tradition Oxford, England. From Medieval Terrors to Modern Magic 1340 - 2015 The Boar’s Head Festival is probably the oldest continuing festival of the Christmas season. When it came to Cincinnati in 1940, it already had a 600-year history. The pageant’s roots go back to medieval times when wild boars were the most dangerous animals in European forests. They were a menace to humans and were hunted as public enemies. Like our Thanksgiving turkey, roasted boar was a staple of medieval banquet tables—symbolizing the triumph of man over ferocious beast. As Christian beliefs overtook pagan customs in Europe, the presentation of a boar’s head at Christmas time came to symbolize the triumph of the Christ Child over the evils of the world. The festival we know today originated at Queen’s College, Oxford, England, in 1340. Legend has it that a scholar was studying a book of Aristotle while walking through the forest on his way to Christmas Mass. Suddenly he was confronted by an angry boar. Having no other weapon, the quick-witted student rammed his metal-bound philosophy book down the throat of the charging animal and the boar choked to death. That night, the beast’s head, finely dressed and garnished, was carried in procession into the dining room accompanied by carolers. By 1607, a similar ceremony was being celebrated at St. John’s College, Cambridge.

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

For some, it is all about the baking, the shopping and the decorating. For others, it is a time to gather with friends and family members scattered near and far. For still others, it is a special time tinged with a bit of sadness and loneliness because of loved ones who are no longer present. For many it is all about family traditions. For most of us it is a little bit of all this and more. Hopefully the “more” is the recognition that Christmas is the remembrance and celebration of the birth of Je- sus of Nazareth. Hopefully the ‘more’ includes, not just mere sentimentality of days gone by, but the under- standing that the Christ needs to be born again and again in our world....in our lives. The celebration of Christmas, in its fullest sense, is the awareness that God continually yearns to be born in and through each and everyone of one of us. We are all called to be “mothers” of God as Meister Eckhart puts it, because what Jesus started over 2,000 years ago urgently needs to be continued today.

The Light Bearer signifies the end of midwinter darkness in the brilliant light our Lord brings each year at his birth. MARCH OF THE BEEFEATERS The Beefeaters, or Yeoman Warders, were established in 1485 as a bodyguard for King Henry VII, and it is believed that their wages were paid partly in beef, hence the nickname. The scarlet and gold dress uniforms are worn on state occasions only; visiting the Tower of London today the Yeoman Warders – men and women – wear a dark blue and red “undress” uniform created by Queen Victoria in 1858.
