Mrs. Minerva Evans, in charge of program, gave an

World Over."
Over the centuries, different countries have found
different ways to celebrate and enjoy this most joyous
occasion, the Birth of Christ:
The date, December 25, was established by the
Romans during the first century A.D., as the official
time for the observance of the Birth of Christ, using the
17th to 24th in preparation. However, many Eastern
churches, the Greek Orthodox Church, still follow
January 6.
The first Christmas celebrations were solemn and ho
ly, with no gay carols or decorations. Church leaders
made the four-week period before Christmas a sacred
season. This was a time to pray and prepare for the
coming of the Holy Festival. This period is known as
"Advent" meaning "the coming." January 6, is called
Epiphany, which honors the visit of the wise men to the
Christ child in the manger or Christmas Creche.
., DECEMBER 20, 1980 THE CAROLINA TIMES -9
People feasted and danced d held festival during
this season, but St. Francis of Assist fell thai the poor
people did not really understand Ihc importance of the
Christmas Story. So, he invited a group to go to Greccia
in 1223, to a cave where he had set up a manger filled
with hay, live oxen and a donkey. St. Francis led the
people in singing carols.
Many countries have observances that are different
from ours. Mrs. Evans included Yugoslavia, Palestine.
Syria, Ireland, Rumania, Finland and France.
