Christmas Revels Rituals and Traditions |
The Christmas Revels are generally celebrated to welcome the Winter Solstice, and it is a celebration where the entire community participates by taking part in dance or drama, or by singing traditional Christmas carols and songs.
Here is Christmas Carnivals with information on the Christmas Revels Rituals and Traditions. The Christmas revels are often considered to be a prism through which we find the various traditions and rituals of the different cultures being refracted. So we find there are several books, which are written to inform us about the history and origin of the various rituals and traditions. John Matthew's The Quest for the Green Man is one such book, which talks about the green man who is seen to feature in several of the Christmas revels. The author in this book has provided us with various explanations about the origin of this individual and his importance in the scheme of things. Since the Revel is mainly celebrated in honor of the Winter Solstice, so we find the poem " The Shortest Day" is a part of all Christmas Revel programme. Since the poem is so integral to the Revel celebration, it is available in matted print and designer frames for you to preserve it for a lifetime. Another important tradition of Christmas Revels is the singing and performing of the traditional songs and dances. There are a host of books and videotapes, which not only give you the history behind the songs and dances but also provide you with easy notations so that you can also sing it along in the social gatherings.
The rich history of Christmas Revels rituals and traditions is an ideal means to celebrate an enriching Christmas. So celebrate this festive season with Christmas Carnivals and browse through other links on this site to find out more on Christmas Revels.
