The Celtic Calendar for December 26th
Boxing Day
In England, December 26th is Boxing Day, when householders gave “Christmas boxes” filled with goodies to those who had served them through the year. Today is also the feast of Saint Stephen for Christians, and according to a well-known carol, “Good” King Wenceslas went out in the snow on this day to take food, wine, and fuel to a poor man. King Wenceslas, a tenth-century ruler of Bohemia, was renowned for his charity, particularly to disadvantaged young people. Wenceslas or Wenzel, later became the patron saint of the Czech Republic.
