THE HOLLY AND THE IVY…
#AbFav_MONTH_of_DECEMBER_🎀
Both from the garden.
"The Holly and the Ivy" is a traditional British folk Christmas carol.
"The holly and the ivy, now are both well grown"
The Holly and the Ivy is thought to have Pagan origins and could therefore date back over 1000 years.
It is most unusual for a carol like the Holly and the Ivy to have survived over the years especially during the stern protestant period of the 17th century.
The Holly and the Ivy have always been taken indoors during the winter, the hope being that the occupants would survive difficult conditions just like the hardy Holly and the Ivy.
The colours of the Holly and Ivy, green and red are traditionally associated with Christmas.
I wish you a day full of peace and goodness, thank you, M, (*_*)
