Christmas catholic
Although I am not a Catholic / Protestant / Lutheran, etc., I have warm feelings for Catholic Christmas (maybe it’s all because of my love for Western cinematography influences, or maybe just because it is a cozy family holiday, and no matter what religion you profess).My old dream is to visit good old England at Christmas. After all, it is here that this incredible spirit of the holiday reigns. In the house in the center of events there is not only a Christmas tree, but also a fireplace - Santa will sneak through it to leave presents. The fireplace is traditionally decorated with ivy, mistletoe and holly. By the way, why exactly are they the main decorations of Christmas?
Someone says that Christ's crown was not of thorns, but of holly ... And someone believes that traditions go back to paganism, when these plants were protected from evil spirits ... And since the Middle Ages, the custom of kissing under a mistletoe branch has gone. After this action, each of the kissing people should eat a berry and - voila! the couple is considered betrothed.
Do you believe in some omens? Which ones?
