Holiday Herbs

The earliest herbal stories of Christmas are rooted in the desert of the Holy Land and begin with the the wisemen bearing gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense to the newborn child. Other holiday traditions, especially those of the Northern regions of Europe are passed down from times before, when the people endured the dark days of midwinter on the hope of eternal rebirth of the Sun and Earth. Many of these stories and legends of miraculous herbs and plants were folded into new Christmas stories, and all were passed down to us from mother to child, generation to generation, to form our own unique Christmas traditions. Join us to find out all about them!
