Strapped to a donkey, he is paraded from dpor to door to gather whatever foods the generous may give.

Korlnatj : According to tradition, church bells are heard chiming in all the cities of Norway, calling the people to five o’clock church on Christmas Eve, December' 24th, : when the Christmas celebrations begin. 5 Many weeks before, the families are busy making Jpfts for Christmas and preparing food to be stored against the long winter.

SOUR GREETINGS TO OUR MANY FRIENDS AND PATRONS... "Clevengers” •THE DUNTONS” Route 211 at 229 3Iift Journey Ho |Ket^lcffnn As we read the Christmas stories in the second chapters of Matthew and Lute we realize that the two Evangelists are telling .two aspects of the story of the birth of Christ. Matthew tells the story of the journey of the .Wise Menr to Bethlehem bearing their gifts for the newborn King. Luke on die other hand, tells of the trip of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem because of the order of Caesar for all the people to be enrolled. Then he tells of the coming oj^the shepherds to find the newborn baby of which the angels had told them. It seems jthat everyone con.tmed with the birth of Christ had gone somewhere on a journey. There is a symbolism in each of these thrde journeys for us today. Each of us make our own spiritual* journey to Bethlehem during this Christmas season. Like Mary and Joseph we can journey to the Christohild in his church so that we can be counted as a seeker, a follower of the Master. Like the shepherds we can come to see this child which has been known to us and to Worship him. Like the ; Jiromau ot tts to all of mhi ! LEGGETTS in,Cubeptf >' . • ' ' ' n • ■ \ a U I* T¥ M. MM.

In taking our spiritual journey to Bethlehem we are seeking to find the joy of Christmas. All those who journied found ' something at the end of their travels. Maiy and Joseph found their firstborn son who was the son of God, the Savior of the world. The shepherds and the Wise Men found the Christchildi We too, by taking our spiritual journey, will find the motivation to higher ideals, and to a richer, fuller life of peace and joy oil earth. Rev. Ledford C. Vaughan, Jr. ' ** v;;-.!j? ^Bulgaria '.“ j With the appearance of the first star on Chrjstmas Eve, the strict two weeks'- fast is broken.

Incense is burned and prayers are offered before the husband and wife break a “goodJd6k’’ piece from the ceremonial cake. Christmas Day is begun with a church service, after which the children receive their gifts froth Grandpa . Koleda—the Bulgarian Santa Claus. As in days of oltj, the children present their parents with a, remembrance on the eve of the laft day of the old year. Before .breakfast on Christmas Day, die father of the family brings in the yule log, while the other members of the family sprain kle him with com, a custom which is followed to bring health" to all and a plentious crop the following year.
