ftv - V. ' .-• mM CANDLES MM FOR V j II Candles have lighted Christmas eve around the world for generations. -■ T " ' ■ . ; ■'■' T ‘ It has long been a custom in Ireland to place a lighted candlein the Window to guide the Christchild oh his way, and, the use of candles appears in other lands in many ways. , In Czechoslovakia, for example, tiny candles are set upright ip nutshells and floated |n pans of water. Armenians use myriads of candles in preparing their Christmas decorations. \ At unique church services fa Labrador each child receives a little lighted candle standing in a turnip, and keeps it until after the services, at which time the turnip is eaten. In Norway, families arrive at church on Christmas eve, each carrying a flaming torch. These are stuck l ln the snow while the goodfolk attend the services. 3 Sn Slid Seen, of WorJ.ip The scene of The Redeemer's birth at BcthleWm is the site of a full day’s worship and prayer each Christmas Eve. The faithful come from all parts of the world to join their voices in adqration and to see the solemn reenactment of the Jesus of Nazareth. Discontinued for six years during ; World War 11. the pontifical mass j ahd ceremony was renewed in 1945. , As. the stars on the hillside and the pale moon, wrapped the town of Bethlehem in an aura of holiness, j the voices of the humble echoed in ' prayer from the little Church of St. ' Catherine, built on the hallowed I rock of the most sacred spot of the Christian world. , i The mass was celebrated at 10 p m., the voices of the choir-boys ringing out over the surrounding hills. At the stroke of 12 the great bells of the tower of the nativity rang out, loud and clear. The' vicak holding an image of i the Christ Child, joined a pfoc<?ssi >n of priestsj acolytes and choirboys. By flickering candlelight the procession filed over the stone steps leading to the grotto of the nativity. The vicar placed the tiny representation of Christ on the sacred spot where, many years before, the Redeemer came. ■■■■ ■ — \ (Sallam. Recommended c4l Sell tyule 'Cree ' : ' ; ' - ] ' In choosing a Christmas many look for trees that will not shed needles quickly indoors. Highly recommended are balsam and Dougla's firs, which usually will hold their needles as long as two or three weeka.-in a warm house. Balsam is ftagrant beyond all other Christmas ; trees, has long lower branches and thick spire+like top. Its needles do not stab the hand. Like this needles of all firs,. they are usually flattened, not. squarish. For f longer life, place the tree •outdoors in a bucket Pf water for 24 hours before puffing it up, or place in a waterproof container of sand and keep the sand moist. - mßmt' mI r ■ > X HOPE, I HOPE . . . There is an expression commonly used during the days just before Christmas—and th|s is it, on the \ face of the lad with the football. If things work out the way they usually do, he’ll get his wish.
