The Golden Pig
By Ida M. Pardue
In the land of the Czechs it is
not Santa’s reindeer who hold the
devoted attention of children on
Christmas Eve. The Czech Christ
mas animal—as mythical and elu
sive as America’s reindeer— is
the “Golden Pig.”
The Golden Pig is the hero of
an old Czech Christmas legend.
According to the story, the Pig
puts in an appearance once a
year, on Christmas Eve. Oddly
enough, only those who have not
eaten all day are supposed to be
able to see the Yuletide animal.
So it is that many Czech kiddies
consider it part of the day’s fun
to go without food.
But follow the rules though they
may, no youngster ever really sees
the Golden Pig. He manages to
come and go, like Dancer and
Prancer and the rest, sight un
seen.
This in no way affects the popu
larity of the legend. Each Christ
mas it is retold, and youngsters
yearn to see the Golden Pig, just
as American kiddies yearn for a
glimpse of Santa and his sleigh
bearers.
Sunday School Little Girls

munity Methodist Church who at
