Christmas seemed lost, until St. Nicholas, the boy- bishop, rediscovered it in the Fourth century. St. Nicholas—who became Santa Claus—did good on the sly—slipping into homes and leaving toys for the children, without being caught. For a brief time he made Christmas “merry” again; thfen the darkness came. Still later, in 1223, Francis of As sisi recaptured the spirit of Christ mas. He asked the pastor of the village church to let him use the church on “Christmas Eve, and the pastor let him have his way. First, he filled the chancel with i Hay. Then he found an ox and an i ass apd pushed them up the aisle into the chancel. He got a young mother to sit beside them With her baby; he made a picture of Christ- j mas. * It was Francis who wrote the first > Christmas carols — simple songs, | homey, cheery, playful, and taught the people to sing them. They spread from land to land. The cler gy said he was crazy; the people said he was a saint.
