CANDLES ON XMAS
HAVE BEEN USED
BY MANY PEOPLE
It would be astonishing, Indeed,
if no candles appeared In homes
throughout the nation on Christ
mas Eve. The legend which sur
rounds the custom is believed to
have started in Ireland.
There on Christmas Eve a large
candle was burned which could be
snuffed out only by one named
Mary. As the Irish put it: “Who
knows, on some Christmas Eve,
Jesus and Mary and Joseph may
come again, not to Palestine, but
to the Holy Isle on the fartherest
edge of Europe?’’
Their first use for Christmas is
not recorded in the annals of any
nation, but that the "Christ Child
Candle,” burned in the window of
Christmas Eve is, according to an
old legend, placed there to light
His way if He makes an earthly
visitation and in atonement for the
night of His birth when there was
no room for Him.

Also among the legends is one
about bayberry candles burned on
Christmas.
During the early history of our
country, animal fats were relatively
scarce. The branches of the bay
berry shrub were covered with wax
giving berries and children were
given the task of gathering the ber
ries when candles had to be made
so that the animal fats could be
conserved.
According to tradition, one who
burned a bayberry candle on Christ
mas Eve or Christmas Day would
have long life and a happy one.
An old verse reads:
“To learn your luck for the year
they say.
Burn a bayberry dip on Christ
mas day.
If the flame burns bright and
the light shines clear,
Good luck will be yours through
out the year.”
Does he believe in good luck
charms? Give him a St. Christo
pher coin knife. These clever
knives may be worn as watch
charm or on key chain.
