According to Christmas custom (which actually originated in Scandinavia), any two people who meet under a hanging of Mistletoe are obliged to kiss. But what many people don't know is that a Mistletoe has a spot in the history books of many different places. For example, the European mistletoe actually was passed down from Greek mythology and is believed to be The Golden Bough of Aeneas, ancestor of the Romans. The berries of a Mistletoe that grow at the time of the Winter Solstice, the birth of the new year, are thought to have been used by Druids in rituals as a symbol of immortality. In Romanian traditions, Mistletoe is considered a source of good fortune. Recently, Mistletoe has become popular in Europe, especially in Germany, for treating circulatory and respiratory system problems, and even cancer.
So where ever you are in the world and whatever reason you have to celebrate this beautiful plant, just remember that we will be celebrating with you! The Mistletoe Carnival is a beautiful set that can enliven any embroidered item. All designs are unique, just like the customs all over the world, so you can create projects that will differ in style and expression. Each design has beautiful berries that are animate and realistic; surrounded by natural leaves and vines that define the whole design. Experience the history and joy on this Christmas with Mistletoe Carnival! |
