Star of Bethlehem
Phenomenon of Age
The Star of Bethlehem has been
the subject of extensive research and
discussion.
Modern astronomers have consid
ered several natural phenomenon
theories without attaching top much
weight to any such hypothesis.
Skeptics regard the whole thing as
mere invention, colored with Oriental
imagery, designed to honor Christ;
and. faith accepts the star as the
supernatural phenomenon which pro
claimed the birth of Jeeua.
The first chapter of the gospel ac
cording to St Matthew,, begins:
"The book of the generation of
Jesus Christ the son of David, the
son of Abraham ..."
And confirming Bethlehem as the
city of David, the angel of the Lard
declared:
"For onto you is bom'this day, in
the city of David, a SAVIOUR which
is CHRIST the Lord." St Luke 2:11.
Considering tradition, which accepts
that King David's shield formed s
six-pointed star, the. Star of Bethle

"... stood over where the young
Child was." St Matthew 2:9.

Christmas ftecs,
_ Cribs and Ceppi

Various legends claim to tell the
story of the fliut Christmas tree;
acridly, evergreen decorations were
so closely associated with pagan cele
brations that they were banned by
many ecclesiastics of the early
church.
to literature, the fint
. tree was set up st Stras
bourg, Germany, in 1604; even then,
the cry rose agiainst heathen cus
toms and, as late as 1851, the Rev.
Henry Schwan Was severely criticised
for setting up a Christmas tree in his
church in Cleveland, Ohio.
St Francis of Assist received spec
ial permission from the pope to pre
sent s tableau of the nativity scene.
This first crib, set st Greccio, Italy,
in 122S, waa an immediate sensation;
the renaissance endowed the cribs
with ornate pageantry and, modern
ly, the crib is to southern Europe
and Catholic countries what the tree
is to America and northern lands.
Eighteenth century Italians were
fond of a fantastic decoration called
the Gappo, Pyramidical in construc
tion, the Ceppi were made on a
framework of lathes with transverse
shelves rising to three or four stories,
depending on the over-all size of the
Ceppo.
The whole, thing was covered with
colored paper, tufts, tassels, fringes,
tiny pine cones, and little flags; a
mpnger scene was represented on the
lowest shelf, while the upper oms
were covered with small gifts, etc.;
wax tapers were placed along the
sides and a large gilt cone ornament
ed the top. Although the original
designer probably never saw a
Christmas tree, the Ceppo?aided by
a little' imagination?bridges the
gap between Christmas cribs and
trees.
