Christmas and the holidays divide people between excitement, joy, song (hello Mariah!) or weariness, anxiety and indigestion. However, it was completely different with the Ancien Regime (Monarchy). We actually had to wait the middle of the XIXth century for the common holidays\u2019 symbols to appear: family diners, gifts exchanges and Christmas tree. Today, they picture in our mind the celebration of Jesus\u2018 birth or the Winter solstice. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_single_image image=”36892″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https:\/\/unartanglais.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/12\/023.jpg”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][mk_ornamental_title font_family=”none” font_size=”18″]Christmas, from origin to catholic traditions.<\/b>[\/mk_ornamental_title][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1700657107648{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

Christmas in French, \u00ab No\u00ebl \u00bb, was probably born from two different roots: from latin natalis dies<\/span><\/i> (birthday) or from gaulois <\/span>noio hel <\/span><\/i>\u00a0(new sun, so solstice). Both of them make sense, because <\/span>celebrating the rebirth of the sun is one of the oldest pagan tradition and the Nativity is the oldest Christian feast.<\/b><\/span> However, the word Christmas\u201ccelebration\u201d doesn\u2019t mean the same thing under the Monarchy and today. The French kings are Catholics and obtain their power from God thanks to the Coronation. Therefore, the Advent and Christmas are very important pious days dedicated to pray, beside some exceptions\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][mk_ornamental_title font_family=”none” font_size=”18″]The watchwords at the French court: Prayers and banquets!<\/b>[\/mk_ornamental_title][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1700657262029{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nIn 1539, King Francis the Ist has to welcome King Charles Quint while he is crossing over the country from Spain to Gant<\/strong><\/span>. It is at Fontainebleau castle, the event happens, from December 24th to 30th. On the edge of the forest, they organize fancy spars and at the castle threshold, a tournament. The kings walk through a temporary triumphal arch where musicians and singers are on a tribune. Impressed by the palace and its brand new gallery designed by Primatice, the Spanish are disappointed by the Midnight mass<\/span><\/strong><\/span>, too short, but love the Grand Christmas mass the next day and the scrofula ceremony.

This tradition, the king touches these sick scrofula people is one of the French Court event of the day before Christmas<\/strong><\/span>. Then, in the XVIIth century in Versailles, Louis the XIVth respects it and imposes a day of remembrance, confessing and working all along December 24th, and parties and fun are forbidden! Around 9pm, the King takes a Fast-meal<\/strong><\/span>, in the Advent continuity, made of fish and crustaceans. Our traditional oysters plate would come from this time.<\/span><\/strong> At 10pm, the King, his family and the Court go to the Royal Chapel for the Midnight mass<\/span><\/strong>. Since the VIIth century, it has been divided in three masses: the Angel mass, the shepherd mass and the Divine verb mass.

\nOn December 25th is celebrated the great feast and the grand Christmas mass. This pious tradition is respected until King Louis the XVIth. Under Louis the XVth and until the French Revolution<\/strong><\/span>, they organize another event for Christmas: the exhibition of the most beautiful porcelains of S\u00e8vres<\/span><\/strong> in the \u201cPorcelain Salon\u201d in the king\u2019s private apartment. Then, invited princes and lords buy them to finance the factory.

During that time, the gifts are kind of tips<\/strong><\/span> made of money or gold snuffboxes, like omen for the future year to come. The king, his family and the courtesans offer them to the people of their choice for the New year<\/strong><\/span>, even though sometimes they are given a bit earlier, probably explaining the reason of Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_custom_heading text=”\u201cEt le sapin, lui nous vient tout droit d\u2019Allemagne !
