ON THE 5TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS…
We see the holly leaf
but have we ever given it much thought other than it is really festive with its
red berries? In fact it follows right
behind the wreath because in ancient times it was a reminder of the crown of
thorns worn by the Savior. The sharp
spikey leaves crowned his head with the red berries…his blood that was shed for
all of us. This helps us remember that
all aspects of His life and death are vital for us to remember.
As we compare the
secular Santa with Christ you may have noticed that some countries Santa is
depicted with a crown of holly. It
shouldn’t really surprise us that in man’s search for meaning the icons he
chooses sometimes gets intertwined with the religious symbols of the past
