The legend of the Christmas Spider
A long time ago , a mother prepared for Christmas Eve.
She cleaned and scrubbed her home, chasing the spiders
from the living room with her broom. The spiders fled to
the attic and listened to the excitement below as the
Christmas tree was put up and decorated. When all was quiet
again, the little spiders crept back downstairs to see the
beautiful tree. They were filled with happiness as they
crawled along every branch, admiring the glittering beauty of
each ornament. But alas, by the time they had finished climbing
through the tree, it was completely draped with their dusty,
gray cobwebs.
When the Christ child came, He smiled as He looked upon the
happy little spiders, however, He knew the mother would be
heartbroken when she saw the shrouded tree. So He reached out
and touched the webs and, blessing them, turned them into silver
and gold. Now the Christmas tree sparkled and shimmered and was
even more beautiful than before. Thus the custom to have tinsel
of silver and gold and a spider ornament amongst the other
decorations on the Christmas tree was born.
