Mistletoe Legends

Continued from page four plant.

There is a legend which says the mistletoe used to be's large tree, like the oak. But Christ’s cross was made of this mistletoe wood and after His death it was so ashamed of its part in the Crucifixion that it shrank until it became only a parasite, destined to live off other trees for the rest of time.

Though customs sand legend have evolved and changed through the centuries, the mistletoe remains a familiar symbol of Christmas time.
