It appears that our correspondent has "been informed they have come down from pagan times." and; , that there was a period, when "people were prohibited by law in , America, from observing any of them." Our correspondent further assures us that "any light you may t be able to throw on the subject, will be welcomed by several people, who read the Sentinel." t Our correspondent has been rightly informed, that many of the customs associated with Christmas, are of pagan origin. It is true also with certain reservations, that there was a time in America, when any observance of Christmas was prohibited. The Puritans frowned upon the English observance of Christmas ' "heathenish" and in New England for many years was unknown. > as unknown.
Persons attempting to celebrate the festival, were severely rebuked and punished. The first Christmas in Plymouth was devoted ' to the building of a house for the settlers. In the year 1659, a law < was enacted by. the General Court of Massachusetts, which read that,' "anyone found obesrving any such day as Christmas, or the like, by forbearing lalmr. feasting or any other way, should 1* fine.! five shillThe law remained in force until 1689; but it was not until the beginning of tho nineteenth century, that Christmas liecame a New , England holiday. On the other hand, Ihe Southern Colonies knew no such scruples. . , In Maryland, and Virginia, Christmas was celebrated much as in Eng-|| land. The old colonUi mansions were daily decorated, and were the , scenes of great festivity ami somewhat noisy revels. The Christmas < dinner was typically English, consisting of roast beef, plum pudding, j and mince pic. to which were added typical American dainties, consist- , , ing of turkey, pumpkin pie, and venison. The boar's head was ear- , ried in with elaborate ceremony. i Now concerning the customs associated with Christmas, their or- , igin may be traced to many lands, and back to the twilight years, of primitive civilisation and paganism. j i Although Christmas Day is now universally observed, as the .lay , upon which Christ was born, there is absolutely no reliable informa- , tion as to the time of the year, when the momentous event took place. In fact, the only authentic information we Jiave is that it did not , , occur on December 2Sth. Some authorities place the historic event , in the. early part of September. A legend to be found in one of the ■ , apocryphal gospels, gives the 23rd of May as the date, upon which the | world's Redeemer was bom. The canonical gospels are silent however upon the date, although there are evidences that the early Fathers of the Church were inclined to accept the aforementioned 'legend, and reganled May 23rd as the 1
epochal dsy. r From the very earliest days of human history, the period of time , ranging from December 22nd to the 26th has been observed as a season of great rejoicing and feasting. I The winter solstice, which occurs about December 22nd, marks the . time when the sun reaches its greatest declination. The ancients beJieve that until this day, the sun and the powers of night, had been . engaged in a fierce conflict for supermacy. From mid-summer on- ( wards, the nights had been growing longer, the days shorter, which seemed to indicate that the monarch of day, was slowly giving way ( before the powers of night. Would the sun finally be completely von- . quished? Would night reign forever? This was the thought and fear haunting primitive minds. Somewhere near December 22nd however, . j the sun seemed to make a mighty effort arainst age-long rivals. The ( 1 days suddenly began to grow longeivj^njC-thfi. people celebrated the ( event, on the twerlty-ftfth day with great rejoicing! \ J ( In ancient pagan religions, the sun, under a multiplicity of sym- ( hols, was regarded as the chief deity. It was only natural therefore, that those primitive people should have regarded any change for the better, and for their personal advantage, in their supreme god, as a ( fitting occasion for universal rejoicing. Celebrations of the nature were observed by the Egyptians, thousands of years before the Christian era, by the ancient Greeks, by the Romans, the festival being known an the Saturnalia, and by the ancient Druids of Britian. In due season the festival became Christianised, so to speak, and in the absence of authentic data, was adopted to celebrate the birth of Christ, The exact date when this was accomplished is not known. The highest authorities claim however, it was between the years 337 and 852 A. D. The burning of the Yule-Jog on Christinas night is a survival of Scandinavian paganism. The Goths and the Saxons named this festival "Jul," or Yule. At this season the Scandinavians kindled, great fires, in honor of their god Thor. It is by no means easy however to determine the exact origin of tiie Christmas Tree. It is to be found practically in every' civilised land. Different countries use different kinds of trees, the only requisite being apparently, that it should be a tree retaining its foliage full anil green in winter. As n matter of fact, trees figured in connection with all pagan religious festivities. During the Romair Saturnalia, pine trees were] extensively used, decorate.] with lighted tapers, anil images of the gods. Some authorities claim that the Christmas Tree was suggested i by the sacred tree of Scandinavian mythology. In ancient Egypt ! the palm tree was used in all their ceremonials, at the time of the ' winter solstice. The custom of decorating houses and churches with evergreens, dates also back to the very earliest ages. The Egyptians, the Hebrews, the Romans, and the Druids, observed some of their chief festivals in this manner. If there is any religious significance to the Christmas Tree however, it finds its origin with the prehistoric Druids, and nature-wor-shippers of Britian. The Druids regarded the tree as o&a of their chief dieties; in fact it was worshipped by them as a symbol of fecundity and j>roductiveness in nature. In tho popular form, decorated with trinkets and candles, the Christmas Tree is unquestionably a survival of the tree, almost simb"
'MMi ten i" mm >">»'«• *"** "* "* *■"""• ' alia observe! December 25th. The use of holly Is also a survival of Roman paganism. The hoIlv tree was dedicated to Saturn, the god of the sun. It was the cu-tom of the Romans also to place a sprig of holly, with all presents exchanged during the festival, just as is done to this day in England and in America. The English name "holly" is a derivation from the , ' word "holy.' Heine u-ed. during the. holy season of Christmas. The Tnlstietoe was one of the sacred plants of the ancient Druids ' of Wales, and used in many of their religious festivals. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe also comes from the Druids. All marriages were performed by the Drui.lical priests, the bridal pair standing before an altar dedicated to the sun. under a bower of oak hranche-' ; -<5nlS'lnM WilhTiilsItelde. In the Druidkal creed, u kiss under the mistletoe was a solemn and sacred vow or feqlty; consequently men were supposed only to i > kiss their wives under it. Time however, has brought changes, and ' r j today men apparently prefer to ki-- another man's wife under the ; * mistletoe bow. Mince pies also are of ancient origin. Apparently they came into , Muse in Italy, about the fourth century, and were made originally in 1 the crude form of a manger, the place in which Christ was horn. It might be interesting to discuss some of the curious superstif tion* obtaining in different countries connected with Christmas, and ' discuss the < rigin of rarol-singlng; ]>ut our correspondent desired only"; the information we have attempted to supply above. CIVIC PROCRASTINATION With the advent of tlie new year, thoughts are turning towards s the coming summer. Realtors are preparing for an earlier season than hertofore; "For Rent" signs are in demand.
With some misgivings and anxiety, the question is heard on every- | j Hand. Are we to experience a repetition of last summer, visitors and ^ ■ cottagers streaming in. ami the streets all torn up, impassible to p • ' To say it in the politest form imaginable, the condition 'of Anbury .i . Avenue during the early part of last summer, added nothing to the ^ allurements and the attractiveness of the resort. 01.1 and well-seasoned cottagers might view indulgently such conditions, keeping tlieir eyes fixedly Upon the beach or the bay; but if I the city is to grow and increase, its first consideration must lie the 1 . i prospective cottager or visitor, and the favorable impression must be , ■ j the first. J For the past two .months an extensive street-improvement pro- a ■ j gram 1ms ieen under advisement. Week after week the presentation | : of a dfinite ordinance to that effect has been expected. ■ ; The Board of City Commissioners alone know what has occasioned J ithe delay. It may transpire that the Commissioners have discovered " i that the revenue which may be expected during the present year, will i not warrant them proceeding with the proposed program, even though -■ ' the city defray' only one-third of the cost. e I The statement is circulated, upon whose off what authority wo i j have not been able to learn, that the Commissioners are considering [ ' I the advisability, of adopting a much more modest program, than at ' 1 first outlined. Be that as it "may, it seems to be the general opinion that the 1 1 winter hi too far advanced to have the work completed by the beginning ' I of May, and under no consideration should the streets be torn up ( ' than the second week in May. at the latest. * ! If an ordinance were presented sometime during the present I month, allowing the legal time for its passage, time for advertising I I and awarding the contract, April will be here before the actual work ' can be undertaken. The work on Asbury Avenue last summer, was ! unquestionably delayed through shortage of labor. Similar conditions prevail this year; consequently it does not appear » wise policy1
to attempt work of the character, on so sparse n margin of time. All factors anil possible exigencies taken into consideration, we heard the hope expre-sed by several persons that inasmuch as ; it does not appear the City Commissioners were able to advance their | , ! street-paving program with greater expedition, they would consider i 1 1 advisable to postpone the project until next fall, rather than run ] he risk of having the streets tom up.d jring the summer season. 1 Numerous enquiries are also heard, when will the long expected 1 ordinance, extending the boundaries of the fire-zone now obtaining be introduced. i New buildings arc in process of construction, or in contemplation ' ' in some of the more congested ureas, and old buildings are being re- -i ' i modeled and enlarged. This, work is obviously being carried on under ; ' . the old and antiquated regulations. ' cat contractors may, and to our I i personal knowledge some are, making valiant efforts to induce their j clients, to include fire-resisting materials for roofs in their plans. Notwithstanding, in the absence of definite legislation making ^ ! such materials compulsory, beyond the small zone now in force, a . builder stands between the two horns of dilemma, either to comply ! with the wishes of their patrons, or allow another who will do so, to _ secure the contract. The longer the introduction of the ordinance is delayed, of that 'much lessxtfaiue will it lie when passed; for no form of legislation . can be made retro-active. ( Obviously it will be a case of placing n lock on the stable door j after the horse has escaped and lieen lost.
