Legend of the Christmas Spider
(A German and Ukrainian Legend)
Once upon a time a gentle mother was busily cleaning the house for
the most wonderful day of the year. Not
a speck of dust was left. Even the
spiders had left their cozy corner in the ceiling and had fled to the attic to
avoid the housewife's busy cleaning.
At last, it was Christmas Eve.
The tree was decorated and waiting for the children to see it.
The poor spiders were frantic, for they could not see the tree, nor the
presents that waited for dawn. The
oldest and wisest spider suggested that perhaps they could peep through the
crack in the door to see this glorious sight.
Silently, they crept out of their attic, down the stairs and across the
floor to wait in the crack in the threshold.
Suddenly, the door opened a wee bit and quickly the spiders scurried into
the room. The tree was breathtaking
and certainly more than their eyes were accustomed to seeing.
So, they crept all over the tree, up and down, over every branch and twig
and saw every one of the pretty things. At
last they were satisfied with the Christmas tree's beauty.
But alas! Everywhere
they went they had left their webs. Now
seeing what they had done, they became very afraid that they would be killed; so
they prayed for mercy. Suddenly, an
angel appeared and said, "I'll save you, but I will need some help.
One of you must stay to save the rest."
It was agreed who would stay, and then the angel touched the spider and
turned it to ice, and the webs became shimmering silver and gold.
