• Christmas Legend
x
• •■>
r> The legend of St. Boniface
v md the first Christmas tree has
$ been beautifully told. The
X scene lives before us—the win
X try night, the swelling hillock
f, crowned with the great oak
tree, the “thunder oak," sacred
| to the pagan god Thor; the
4 tongues of ruddy flame, the
4 ranks of white clad warriors,
4 women and children facing the
4 altar; the hoary high priest
1; and kneeling child, the victim
4 doomed to die by the blow of
the hammer, a sacrifice to
4 Thor, the hammerer,
i Then the coming of Boni
4 face, the blow from the ham
% mer turned aside by the cross,
4 the rescue of the boy, the fall
4 of the oak beneath the mighty
blows of the apostle, the story
f> of Jesus simply told and how
% sin, not human life, is the sac
% rifice he asks.
| “And here,” s&iu the apos
;; tie as his eyes fell on a young
p fir tree, with its top pointing
y toward the stars, amid the
*> divided oak—“here is the liv
f ing tree, with no stain of blood
4 upon it, that shall be the sign
X oi your new worship.”—Parish
