In Florida
Mr. and Mrs. Duke Jones
and family are spending the
holidays in Florida with Mrs.
Jones' sister, Mrs. Claude
Cannon, Mr. Cannon and
daughter.
Wc have always associated
holly with Christmas. The
bright shiny leaves | contrast
ing with the red berries lend
color, warmth and meaning.
Perhaps it is not generally
known that all sorts of super
natural powers were oncc
attributed to holly. This
shiny plant was thought to
have power to repel lightning.
The eastern Indians believed
that holly trees planted near
the cabin would act as pro
tectors and ward off evil
spirits. Since the leaves ol
the holly do not readily fall
off they also looked up to the
plant as an emblem of
courage.
Early Christians believed
that holly was used to make
the crown of thorns for the
crucifixion. The plant was
then called "righteous
branch" or "thorn of Christ."
for the red berries supposedly
symbolized the drops of blood
on Christ's brow.
The legend has it in Brit
an that when Christ was
bearing His cross, a small
bird attemntcd to relieve His
suffering by plucking thorns
from His brow. The bird's
breast became stained with
blood and was known ever af
ter as Robin Redbreast.
To this day in England and
Germany, it is considered un
lucky to step on a holly ber
ry. a favorite food of the
robin, in recognition of the
bird's charitable act.
Many superstitions existed
about bringing in the holly
before Christmas. In Wales,
if it was brought in before
Christmas Eve, it was sure
to cause family quarrels
throughout the year. The type
of holly brought into the
household determined who
was to dominate during the
year. If the holly was smooth,
the wife was in command: if
prickly, the husband gov
erned.
Infusions, decoctions and
fomentations of holly were
used for a wide assortment
of human disorders. In Eng
land. a tea of holly bark was
a cure for a cough. In France,
? decoction of teavea and
bark wm* considered equal to
quinine in the treatment of
intermittent fever. A tea of
holly leaves wu believed to |
Be i cure, for?iiwuIm >
North American Indians.
A beverage of the berries I
iicified the nuawi of (
iees snd curbed their
