Bible Scenes Inspired
the Writing of Carols
T he Influenee of the constant via-
miiizjitlon of Ilihle seenes, of wliicb
IK'ople were accustomed to tliink viv
idly, inspired the writing of t’hr-.st-
mas carols. They began to make their
ai)|>earanc^ about the year 14(K). This
was u new music In what was still
nlmo.st a new language, 6f minstrel,
literary and folk poetry. The bailed
was one of the forms in which many
of the traditional carols were cast.
The t'hrhiinms tree had its origin in
t Germany'and Is of comparatively re-
I cent adoption in otlier countries. It
Is regarded Ity many as one of the
number of pagan survivals which have
been engrafted upon Christianity and
fiirislian festivities. The worshipers
of the Norse god.s, before the adoption
of Christianity, had a piace in their
sclieme of things for Iggdrasll, the
tree of the world, which, with its roots
• and branches, was believed to bind to
gether heaven, earth and hell. The
(I'hrlstmas tree is lieileved to be re
lated to this tree in its origin. It bi^-
came associated with the Cliristian
holiday at some unknown time in tlie
Middle Age.s.
in the I'nited States the Christmas
tree custom is probably less than a
century old. I’l* until the time of
tlie Civil war it Imd not yet lo'ceme
a po[tular custom, altliough it was oh
served l*y a large number of tlie tier
man immigrants. Since then it lias
b**etl"generally adopted In tills country
and Canada, and is familiar In Eng
