Life
The father and mother of all the living, whose fall made the promise: the seed of the woman shall crush the serpent. The Church’s ancient calendars kept them on Christmas Eve — the old Adam remembered on the vigil of the New — and medieval mystery plays decked a ‘paradise tree’ with apples for their day: an ancestor of the Christmas tree itself.
In the calendar
