Excerpt from Wonderful Christmases of Old
Even so. When the Saturnalia came again, and the Christians gathered again in the stone chambers to celebrate the birth of Jesus, on the martyrs' record along the smoky walls were set new names, among them the aged Alexander's.
But a clear and holy light, as from the remembrance of the unshaken faith in which their brethren died, rested upon every face. The places of the martyrs were filled. Men, women, and consecrated youth, swelled the host that gathered to keep the birth-night of the Christ. The Star of Bethlehem shone' steadily over heathen Rome.
