Topic: Christmas Hills


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christmas
Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church.
Gervase of Tilbury (thirteen century) says that in England grain is exposed on Christmas night to gain fertility from the dew which falls in response to "Rorate Cæli"; the tradition that trees and flowers blossomed on this night is first quoted from an Arab geographer of the tenth century, and extended to England.
Nicholas and his "reformed" equivalent, Father Christmas -- be ascribed to the stepping of a saint into the shoes of Woden, who, with his wife Berchta, descended on the nights between 25 December and 6 January, on a white horse to bless earth and men.

 East Hills Moravian Church Putz
The word "Putz" is a loose translation from the German, meaning "to decorate." A Christmas putz is a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages.

Lovingly crafted to bring the Christmas story to life through narration, music, synchronized lighting and, of course, an intricately detailed nativity scene, the EHMC Putz is now open.
