But songs became popular until the 1200's but that's when it slowed down, until saint francis. In 1223 st.francis, the songs began to get sang again and some where changed. The earliest carol that can still be find but only little bits, it was in 1410, it was a carol about jesus and mary. Then there were people called waits, who are bunches of people taking money to sing carols,soon carols were requested more and more become a popular thing, so orchestras and choirs started to do there own too.

Did he actually have horses? Or was that just myth?

DeleteHonestly, I thought we hung stockings for a totally different reason.
DeleteSo first we started out with shoes and now we have socks?
DeleteI researched how candy canes became a thing for christmas time. It started 250 years ago. The first thought of a candy cane was to keep kids quiet during the Nativity showings in the spanish culture. They started out just white. It then was modified. Red was added to the candy cane for taste, color, and the meaning. The meaning was that the white stood the purity of jesus and the red stood for the blood he shed while dying on the cross.
ReplyDeleteI really like yours. But, I knew what red and white represented on the candy cane, but I thought the shape of the candy cane was a J for Jesus.
DeleteThat was really cool how it started
DeleteTradition- Elves.
ReplyDeleteWhat they are: Elves are mythical creatures that are usually immortal. They were actually thought to live up in heaven before they came down to help Santa. Elves are also very important to Christmas. This is because they have to help Santa with a lot of different things. They help with numerous activities, such as making and packing toys, maintaining the naughty and nice list, and they maintain the reindeer as well as many other things that they also help with.
I didn't know that they were mythical creatures!
DeleteTradition: Why we hang up Wreaths?
ReplyDeleteHow it started: During the Christmas holidays we hang up wreaths on our doors to wish others "good health". We came up with the idea of hanging wreath from ancient Rome's New Years celebration. Some think that the wreath was used to symbolize christ. Or some people think it represents life never ending. So, which one do you think is the real reason, why we hang wreaths?
That is really good because I never even heard about that
DeleteLife never ending because usually wreaths are circular and a circle never ends.
DeleteFaith I really liked yours. I liked how the wreaths was for good health.
DeleteTradition:Red and Green
ReplyDeleteHow it started: Green is the color of many Plants during this time such as Mistletoe and Pine trees, it reminds that spring will come soon.Red has to do with the blood of Jesus and the color robes the saints wore such as St. Nick.

DeleteTradition: Angel and Star Toppers
ReplyDeleteHow it started: The angels are placed on the trees because of the angels that had flown down to announce the birth of Jesus Christ. The stars are placed on the trees because of the star that had led the people to Jesus's birthplace.

ReplyDeleteHow it started: as it originally appeared in Bible December 2002.The Bible offers clues of celebrations of Jesus' Nativity are not mentioned in the gospels or acts; the date is not given, not even the time of the year. Until the 12th century that we find the first suggestion that Jesus' birth celebration was deliberately sat at the time of pagan feasts(a person who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim; a heathen.

The candles were sometimes glued to the tree with melted wax and at other homes they were attached to the trees with pins.
After that they slowly decided lights would work better and boom that's why there is christmas lights.
we hang up our stockings because a long time ago,three poor sisters hung up stockings and Santa put gold coins in their stockings so,it's been a tradition ever since to hang up stockings.
ReplyDeleterudolf the rednose reindeer has a red nose right well all of them do because they have no sweet so when he is pulling the sled and gets hot the blood vessels go to his nose so then he can cool down so the nose is red and also their blood is rich in oxygen so it is always red.

ReplyDeleteHow it started: In Germany an Armenian monk brought a sophisticated,religious bread mold and baked the bread batter.
