- The Holy Family
On Christmas Night Our Lord was born on Christmas Day in a stable in Bethlethem.
And since that time we celebrate Christmas for a very holy week on an account of that. And the
Parish Priest sends his clerk for holly and Ivy and the makes a crib and he puts a box near the crib so that if the people like they can but a few pence into it. And on Christmas morning
All the people goes to an early mass on that morning and on Christmas Night the people light a candle or two on honour of our Lord.
