The 31st
MPC Yule Feast
New and exciting things have been added so as to attract and represent out current and constantly growing MPC family better.
In keeping with tradition, our celebrating begins at 5pm in the Family Room with fanfare toasts and the traditional Yule Log presentation. Spicy Wassail is served to the accompaniment of the Wassail Carol and traditional Christmas Carols.
Festive Christmas greens, colorful banners, candles, ribbons and the holiday spirit transforms the sanctuary magically into a medieval banquet hall. Madrigals and musicians entertain us during the following sumptuous dinner served in the traditional family-style by hosts and hostesses. After dinner we continue the revelry with music, merriment and interactive entertainment.
In celebration of the Epiphany, Yule Feast commemorates the coming of the Magi as the first manifestation of the Christ to the Gentiles. History has identified such festivities as Little Christmas or Second Christmas. Modern celebrations of Yule Feast were celebrated in Oxford, England as far back as the mid~1300's, reenacted during the Christmas season in England and later in Colonial America.
MPC Yule Feast, with its colorful rituals and symbols, forges ties between past and present in joyous celebration. The sharing of food, music, drama and ceremony helps us tie together. And the presentation of the Yule Log is symbolic of the warmth of the family fireside, which from earliest time, has marked the rekindling of love as the old year passes and the new one is born.
This will be our thirty~first year of celebration! Make sure you are there! Join us for 2010 Yule Feast!
