Christianity: Faith, Scripture and Tradition

Christmas in Ritual and Tradition, Christian and Pagan

by Clement A. Miles

A classic survey of Christmas customs across Europe, from liturgy, carols and the cult of Saint Nicholas to the Yule log, mumming and divination. Miles distinguishes the Christian feast from earlier midwinter customs, though some of his views on pagan survivals are now questioned.
