French Christmas Omens and Old World Remedies
In France Christmas beliefs endure with cures and superstitions. Bathing on Christmas Day wards off fever and toothache, abstaining from meat guards against fever, and avoiding prunes cures ulcers. A large loaf from Provence, Le pain de calende, holds a remedy piece marked with crosses. Bread baked on Christmas Eve stays fresh ten years, and Madonna may share bread if kept on the table. Cattle health hinges on midnight mass, harvests on festival clothes, and New Year fountains blessed with apples or nosegays yield yearly health. Avoid lending on January 1 to dodge bad luck.
