The Christmas quiz-Who can answer all of my Christmas quiz questions correctly?
1)Where did the custom of hanging mistletoe over door ways begin and why do people do that.
2)What did putting an oil wick lamp in your window come from.
3)What do the colors of the Candy Cane represent?
4)Where did Christmas music come from.
5)Has Christ been lost at Christmas and does Jesus really find Christmas to be the way of the heathen.
6)What do the Christmas colors symbolize.
1. Mistletoe was used by Druid priests 200 years before the birth of Christ in their winter celebrations. They revered the plant since it had no roots yet remained green during the cold months of winter.
Scandanavians associated the plant with Frigga, their goddess of love, and it may be from this that we derive the custom of kissing under the mistletoe. Those who kissed under the mistletoe had the promise of happiness and good luck in the following year.
2. The Christmas Candle:
The Christmas tradition of placing candles in your windows dates back to the very beginning of Christianity. A large candle was lit on Christmas Eve, symbolizing Christ, the light of the world. It was left to burn the whole night to mark the nativity-lighting the way for Mary and Joseph.
3. Legend has it that during the 17th century, craftsmen created the white sticks of candy in the shape of shephreds' crooks at the suggestion of the choirmaster at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany.
Recent explanations of the candy cane's symbolism hold that the color white represents Christ's purity, the red the blood he shed, and the presence of three red stripes the Holy Trinity.
4. The word "carol" is derived from the old French word caroller, which means dancing around in a circle. It was derived from the Latin choraula, which in turn was derived from the Greek choraules.
One of the earliest known Christmas songs is from the 4th Century, Jesus refulsit omnium.
The lighter joyous Christmas songs were introduced many years later in Renaissance Italy - the 1400s, the time of Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo The earliest known copy of an English carol was written by Ritson about 1410. Throughout the years, monks also contributed significantly in composing music themes from the Bible.
5. Probably.
6. Traditionally our Christmas colors came from the red and green of the holly, an evergreen symbolizing blood and life from pre-Christian nature cultures, and was then carried forward to represent green as the hope Christ offers and red symbolizing his blood.
