1. One of the most beloved pieces of music at Christmas is the aria Ave Maria. Two versions of this classic were composed, one by a German composer and one by a French. Who were the two composers? When listening to it, you should be able to tell by the second note which is which. How? Which is which?
2. We have no reference about what time of year Jesus was borne. How did December 25th become the selected date for Christmas?
3. The Christmas tree has become a key part of holiday decorating. Where did the tradition of the Christmas tree originate?
4. In only one year of one war was there a spontaneous truce on the night of Christmas Eve. What war? What year? Who were the two antagonists who made the truce? Who objected? Which side started the truce? How?
