Feast of Immaculate Conception

In the   Constitution   Ineffabilis Deus   of 8 December, 1854,   Pius IX   pronounced and defined   that the   Blessed Virgin Mary   "in the first instance of her conception, by a singular privilege and   grace   granted by   God , in view of the   merits   of   Jesus Christ , the Saviour of the   human race , was preserved exempt from all stain of   original sin ." ‎ "If anyone does not wish to have Mary Immaculate for his Mother, he will not have Christ for his Brother." "The Blessed Virgin Mary..." The subject of this immunity from original sin is the person of Mary at the moment of the creation of her soul and its infusion into her body.

CHRISTMAS TREE HISTORY

Did a celebration around a Christmas tree on a bitter cold Christmas Eve at Trenton, New Jersey, turn the tide for Colonial forces in 1776? According to legend, Hessian mercenaries were so reminded of home by a candlelit evergreen tree that they abandoned their guardposts to eat, drink and be merry. Washington attacked that night and defeated them. The Christmas tree has gone through a long process of development rich in many legends, says David Robson, Extension Educator, Horticulture, with the Springfield Extension Center. Some historians trace the lighted Christmas tree to Martin Luther. He attached lighted candles to a small evergreen tree, trying to simulate the reflections of the starlit heaven -- the heaven that looked down over Bethlehem on the first Christmas Eve. Until about 1700, the use of Christmas trees appears to have been confined to the Rhine River District. From 1700 on, when lights were accepted as part of the decorations, the Christmas tree was well on its way to be
