Boars Head and Yule Log festival k-5th and families

Boar's Head & Yule Log Festival

January 8 at 3:00

K-5^th grade and families 

Since 1976, University Christian Church has concluded the Christmas season with the magnificent Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival! For the past 36 years, a multi-generational cast and musicians of over 300 has re-enacted the ancient celebration which marks the end of the twelve days of Christmas. Also known as The Epiphany, the end of the twelve days traditionally claims that the Magi offered their gifts to the Christ Child.  

The pageant is based on an old legend, that of an Oxford student who kills a wild boar when it interrupts his studies. When the church adopted the Festival, it gained a new, Christian significance: the wild boar, symbolic of evil, is overcome by good through the teachings of Christ. Marching companies, in beautiful authentic costumes of Renaissance England, sing the ancient songs of Christendom, as they carry in the gaily-bedecked head of the wild boar, which is conquered by the innocent goodness of the Christ Child. The triumph of light over darkness is made graphic in the Christ Candle through its light and through the carvings on the wooden candleholder in our production. 

The second part of the program features the original Christmas story, as shepherds and Wise Men travel to Bethlehem to bring gifts to the Christ Child. The traditional tableau--Mary, Joseph and the baby--is revealed as the climax. The iconic moment of the Holy Family stirs the heart in remembrance of God’s gift of his Son to all humanity.
