Gormany—that Js, that portion of Europe which is inhabited by the nation speaking the German lan- guage and being ruled by German laws-—does not know anything of and has no national festivals or holidays. But Germany is @ Ohristian land where the Christian Church is @ recog- nized State institution and protected by Jaw. For this reason the festivals of the Christian Uhurch are celebrated as legal boli- days throughout Germany. The three greatest and highest Christian festivals being celebrated in the course of @ year in Germany are Coristmas, Easter and Pentecost (Wnitsuntide), each of them lasting for two consecutive days. Christmas, as tne feast of Christ's nativity, 1s for its occasion the moss joyful of the festivals named. On tnis anniversary of the birth of the Saviour, from thousands and thousands of puipits alke in Germany, the words are repeated, “Glory to Ged on high; peace on earth, and good will to mankind.” But, aside from its solemn Christian character as a festival of two days’ dura- tion, Christinas ts also the greatest annual general love feast of Germany.
