Subject: St Stevens Day From: Mo the caller Date: 26 Dec 06 - 04:08 AM Happy Boxing Day to all. I was going to ask all you knowledgable people about wren hunting songs, but I did a search instead and found this. I didn't know it was by Les Barker . At Bedworth last year 2 versions were sung, neither was the origional. |

Subject: RE: St Stevens Day From: Divis Sweeney Date: 26 Dec 06 - 05:20 AM So glad to see this thread title. It seems as if the title "St Stephens Day" has left the mouths of the Irish people. I grew up knowing it by that title and sadly it has become Boxing Day to many here. When I worked in hospitals over the Christmas period we always called Christmas night "Boxing Day" because the accident and emergency department was like a repair shop ! Irish families and drink around a dinner table was sure to kick off and all the old grudges were recalled. Do I miss this ? NO. |

Subject: RE: St Stevens Day From: Suffet Date: 26 Dec 06 - 04:26 PM Greetings: I was never a big fan of Saint Stephen, even though we share a name. I'm sorry he got killed by a mob, but please remember that he was the one who started preaching that the Jewish people as a whole were responsible for killing Jesus. We all know where that led! --- Steve |

Subject: RE: St Stevens Day From: Mo the caller Date: 26 Dec 06 - 04:56 PM The English call it Boxing Day, but at the Irish Centre in Chorlton (Manchester) where we go Set Dancing, it's definitely called St. Steven's Day. |
