Christmas seals - no matter what your favorite Christmas symbol, you can be sure that it had a fascinating beginning The symbolic use of the tree, for example, dates back al least 4,000 years, to a time when the Egyptians celebrated in honor of their sun god during the month corresponding to our December. This was the season of rejoicing* and the palm tree became its symbol. As to the origin of the Christmas tree, we must move forward in time to the days of Saint Wilfrid in the 7th Century. On one occasion, as he stood among a crowd of his converts, he triid to indicate their severance of all connections with heathen religions by cutting down a great oak. As it fell to the earth, the oak split into four pieces and - to the amazement of the converts -a young fir tree with its green spire pointing toward the heavens grew from the center. "This little tree," said Wilfrid, “is a young child of the forest. It shall be your holy tree tonight. It is the sign of endless life, for its leaves are evergreen. See how it points toward heaven. Let this be called the tree of the Christ Child." The familiar symbol of Christmas good-will, the Christmas seal was started in 1903 by a Danish postal clerk, Anton Holmboe - as a source of revenue for an anti-tuberculosis society. And today, more than six million children around the world, benefit from a Christmas seal that pictures Jesus. Mary and Joseph. These* seals of the Pontificial Associatioin of the Holy Childhood. sold bv more than four

million American youngsters - help provide clothes .food, education and other necessities for mission ( hildnwi abroad. When asked why she was so intent on selling as many seals as possible, a youngster tnld her parents, "holy Childhood Christmas seals help keep CM-ist in Christmas.” Another favorite Christmas syn hoi among children is. of course*, Santa Claus. Did you konw that jolly St. Nick actually existed’’ It’s a fact! The historical St. Nicholas was a popular saint who lived in the fourth century - and who in his lifetime was Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor. He was reputed to be very rich and it is said that he loved to make mysterious journeys bearing secret gifts to the unfortunate. Legend has it that St. Nicholas knew an old nobleman who was very poor but did not want anyone to know of his dire n«‘<-d. Wishing to give him a gift of money, the Bishop crept to a window* of the house, and. seeing the old gentleman asleep by the fire t climbed to the roof and dropped the money down the chimney. However, it so happened that the nobleman’s daughter had hung some stockings, to dry by the fire, the money fell into one of them, and the custom of hanging Christmas stockings by the fireplace had its beginning. Mistletoe is another symbol of Christmas from the annals of legend. The ancient Druids believed it was sacred, and hung sprigs of the plant over their doorways for luck. To the Romans. however, mistletoe was an indication of peace and goodwill. From myth and custom over the years, mistletoe became a symbol of love, and inevitably, the custom evolved of kissing under the mist letoe. In a u'ay, all the symbols of Christmas we use during the holiday season - from decorating the tree and kissing under the mistletoe, to buying Christmas seals picturing Jesus. Mary and Joseph and hanging stockings by
