The herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King ! A cathedral church is a Christian place of worship that is the chief, or 'mother' church of a diocese. The distinction of cathedral refers to that church being the location of the cathedra, the seat of the bishop. In the strictest sense, only Christian denominations with an episcopal hierarchy, those that are led by bishops, possess cathedrals. However, in common parlance, the title cathedral is often still used to refer to former Scottish cathedrals, which are now within the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. Because of Scotland's religious history, cathedrals of several different Christian denominations are found around the country. Before the Scottish Reformation, the Christian church in Scotland was Catholic. Its thirteen dioceses were each governed by a bishop whose Episcopal see was centred on a cathedral. In 1560, the Scottish church broke communion with Rome and became Protestant. After years of dispute, the post-Reformation Church of Scotland finally abolished the Episcopacy in 1689 and adopted the Presbyterian system of governance. Scotland's former cathedrals remained in use as parish churches, now organised under a system of synods and presbyteries By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. Christmas Day is on Sunday, 25 December, 2022. Christmas is a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus. The English term Christmas, meaning mass on Christ’s day, is of fairly recent origin. The earlier term Yule may have derived from the Germanic jōl or the Anglo Saxon geōl, which referred to the feast of the winter solstice. The corresponding terms in other languages, Navidad in Spanish, Natale in Italian, Noël in French, all probably denote nativity. The German word Weihnachten denotes hallowed night.
