Christmas Nativity Tale Revives Old Arkansas Custom
In St Joe Arkansas on Christmas Day residents will revive a Civil War era custom by telling the Christ child story in a subterranean cave. A candle lit Christmas tree will be uprooted and planted in Cave Creek valley where locals will join hands as a minister reads the nativity story. The practice began in 1874 to heal war hatreds when saltpeter and lead mines fueled Civil War divisions. The cedar planted then was later cut, prompting renewed efforts as fortunes waned. The cave sits on land of C C Thompson, postmaster at Cave Creek, who inherited it from his grandfather who secured a patent in 1854 signed by President Franklin Pierce.
