Our Christinas Rspiaesd
Early Pagan Festivals
Long before the birth of Christ,
the Greeks, Romans, Saxons and
Scandinavians were taking part in
December festivals.
From the Saxons came the cere-
mony of burning the Yule log. The
Saxons burned great bonfires in
honor of their god Thor. From the
Romans came the giving of pres
ents, for this custom has been
traced to the Roman Saturnalia.
It may seem strange to say that
pagan riotousness might be the
forebear of the Christian holiday
of goodness and love, but inter
mingled with that which was ob
jectionable, were things that have
gone straight to the hearts of peo
ple throughout the Christian world.
And, although few people know
it, it was for the purpose of substi
tuting a Christian festival for pa
gan ones of Romans and Druids
that celebrations of Christmas in
December were first encouraged
and popularized.
