As. Necessary
To Man as His
Daily Bread

“Festivals are as necessary
to man as his daily bread.”
—By Joseph Gelineau

Christmas is a religious |

festival tracing its origin to the
historical events recorded in
the Gospels. Its significance
may have been lost for many,
but there are still those who

” find a real joy and celebration

in remembering these simple,
but dramatic events.

The festival of Christmas
ealls people from the ordinary
to the special. It indicates the
difference between the valley

. and the mountain top and helps

to provide that variety that is
essential to a full life.

Christmas is, perhaps, the -

most popular festival in our
society partly due to its placing
in. the seasonal changes. It
comes when the days are short
and the nights long, when the
weather makes it more difficult
to move about, and there is a
general feeling that life is lived
in a low profile.

The Christmas festivities
produce the abundance of lights
and color that make life warmer
and provides for a-real relief
from the .ordinary face of
winter. How-dull life would be if
there were no seasons, for it is
the change and variety that

gives a real sparkle to our

world.

Festivals are part of the
history of any society. They
provide a contact with the past
and a hope for the future. They
help to make sense out of our
present time, to remind us that
we owe much to others and that
we too, may have something to
give to future generations. -

Festivals preserve valu-
able things in our culture and
their ritual gives a meaning to
the mysterious. Life is still a
mystery despite our vast
amount of knowledge and in-
formation,

We think easily of Christ-
mas as a period of holidays.
Could we remember that ori-
ginally these days were “holy
days,” special times set apart to
remind people that life is sacred
and despite its troubles and
difficulties aught to be lived out
in joy and celebration.
