The Louisville Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival is a Kentucky Christmas tradition.
40 YEARS OF THE BOAR’S HEAD AND YULE LOG FESTIVAL: A CELEBRATION | PREMIERING DECEMBER 29, 30 AND 31, 2020
For 40 years, the Louisville Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival has been presented live in the beautiful St. Paul UMC sanctuary with people packed in pews enjoying the beauty and pageantry of the season.
It is going to look and feel a little different this year. However, this 41st Year has provided an opportunity for us to celebrate this wonderful tradition by looking back and appreciating the hundreds of people who have made the Festival what it is today.
Creative minds are at work producing a video with scenes from past festivals, along with new live footage of favorite vignettes from the show. The soundtrack will be the CD recorded by our own choir a few years back. Videos of the show have been collected from David Scheldorf, the Tate family and others, and date back to 1981. Through our friend Harrison Zoercher, we found a great videographer to help us. He is Kelly Tassin, a member of St. Matthews Methodist church.
The premiere of this celebration presentation will be via YouTube on Dec. 29 and 30 at 8 p.m., and on Dec. 31 at 6:30 p.m. Gather around your laptops and/or television sets to enjoy this special event. There will be Live Chat feature so we can share comments and experience 40 Years of Boar’s Head together. Invite friends and family from wherever they are to tune in to the Big Show!

The Performance
A tiny gold sprite bears a lighted candle into the darkened church, symbolizing the coming of the light into the darkened world. Representing the church, a minister receives the light. From this flame rises the lights of the altar and then, the lights of the church itself. A brass fanfare announces the entrance of the Boar’s Head Celebrants. Those from many walks of life, from the greatest to the humblest process to the altar. All bring gifts, suggesting the fullness of Gods gifts to us, to lay at the feet of Christ.
Next come the waits: medieval carolers sharing gifts of gladness. King Wenceslas and his page enter and share their journey of caring for fellow humans. Woodsmen and yule log sprites search for a suitable log to take home to the fireplace. The yule log is lit from last year’s embers. It represents the warmth of the family fireside and the continuance of human life and concern. Additionally, the Yule Log symbolizes the rekindling of love. Finally the shepherds come, their simple adoration joined by the greatest of Wise Men, also humbled by this newborn Child.
When all have assembled, the haunting hymn In the Bleak Midwinter is sung by both cast and congregation. All kneel and adore the Lord of lords to the music of the Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence. The church is darkened and the Epiphany Star shines. The Festival ends with a majestic brass fanfare and a rendition of O Come, All Ye Faithful, sung by cast and congregation.
The History
The history of the Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival reaches back into the days of the Roman Empire. The boar was the first dish served at great Roman feasts. In Norman England, the boar was the sovereign of the great forests, a menace to man and a symbol of evil. The serving of the boar’s head represents the triumph of Christ over evil.
The Festival has its roots in centuries of tradition, having been first presented at least as early as 1340 at Queen’s college, Oxford, England. In time it became part of Christmas celebrations in the great Manor Houses of England. The festival came to America in 1888 to Hoosac School, Hoosac, New York. The Louisville Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival is a descendant of that early festival.
The Candlelight Dinner
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we will not have the candlelight dinner this year.
A candlelight dinner is served in the Social Hall of the church prior to the festival. It is served in elegant style, with a carefully prepared menu, including hot wassail.
Christmas Board Game College St. Paul High School
Two distinctive Eucharistic liturgies (ritualistic spiritual worship services) are offered at St. Paul's every Sunday morning during season, generally November through April. Outside that period there is one morning service, at 9 a.m.
Here's how they differ:
The 8 a.m. service is Rite I. If you are attracted to the English language as used for the past 500 years, Rite I might be your choice. It is a quiet, sober and contemplative worship of The Transcendent God.
Our 10 a.m. service uses Rite II, a more contemporary English polished over our long history of worship in the vernacular. Organ or piano music accompanies the choir to enhance the liturgy.
If you are from the Roman Catholic or Lutheran tradition, you will feel right at home here. Even if you've never been inside a church and are now discovering your spirituality, you will be welcome at St. Paul's. A printed guide, or worship bulletin, is provided to help you follow the service.
All baptized Christians are welcome to receive God's gift of Holy Communion.

How can we say we're both catholic and protestant? It's not that complicated. We walk 'the middle way.'
St Paul Christmas Lights
Episcopalians are a part of a world-wide association of churches called collectively, 'The Anglican Communion.' We share certain characteristics and modes of worship that are distinctive and share a common communion. We are liturgical, creedal and scriptural.
One unique feature of being Anglican/Episcopalian is our polity (the churchy word for policy). We retain the ancient three-fold ministry of bishops, priests and deacons, but authority and responsibility are not functions of our clergy alone. We believe strongly in governance by the entire church, not just its leaders. No bishop may claim a superior status over another and no bishop gets to be a bishop unless elected by both clergy and laity. No priest may 'rule' over his/her parish; authority is shared between the clergy and the parish council (we call it a vestry) and the same applies all the way up. In this way, all members of the Church are and may be held accountable to the others.

There are other things which mark us as different. We invite you to check us out at St. Paul's. There's room here for you, your questions and even your doubts!
