Christmas log.Origin story
Beginning in the 12th century, a tradition arose in France on Christmas Eve to make a Christmas log from fresh wood (usually
cherry wood) in the courtyard of the house with the whole family. With certain ceremonies he was solemnly brought into the
house. The head of the family poured oil and heated wine over it, and the whole family offered prayers. Little girls set fire to the
log using wood chips left over from the previous year's log (according to legend, the ash and wood chips left over from burning
the Christmas log protected the house from lightning and the devil's tricks throughout the year; therefore, they were carefully
collected and stored).

It was considered important that everyone involved in the process of lighting a new log had clean hands. Gradually, the
tradition of burning logs died out, although today it is still followed in houses with fireplaces. But most French people
decorate their table with a small model of a Christmas log and decorate some dishes in the form of a Christmas log.
