But few people realize that this very pleasant custom has its root in age-old superstitions. The lore of primitive days con tains many references to mistletoe. According to an ancient Norse leg end, the sun gcd was slain by an arrow fashioned from the mistletoe I'Uht. He w*3 resurrected by his mother’s tears, which falling ijpon the plant, were crystallized into pearly berries. Because ot this mag ical healing, it was ordained that tween. That is the reason, runs the ifgend, that mistletoe is found growing on trees. Mistletoe was of tpecial lignifi cance to the Druids, ancient pagan priests of England, who cut it off trees with a golden knife used only for that purpose. They believed it possessed wonderful powers of heal ing and acted as a protection from witchcraft. During the December religious rites, it was bestowed upon individuals as a special mark of honor. Because of its supposed salutary properties, mistletoe was often hung over the doors of primitive houses afe a sign of good-will. Belief in magic has disappeared, but this :ri s', i" ■MRiaie*.
