‘Firsts’ Are
Traced
Shepherds watched, angels sang and wise men traveled far to behold the miracle of the first Christmas.
Since that holy night a multitude of legends and customs, both religious and secular, have developed as part of the holiday. Each legend was once told, each custom once observed for the first time, and though origins of many traditions are now lost in time, other Christmas “firsts” have been recorded for posterity.
There are historical Christmas“firsts,”attested by church records and by scientific ■ research into the early years of Christianity, as well as “firsts” of later history and “firsts’’ that blend fact with myth.
