Happy Holidays
The holiday season in Cicely is a
little bit different. The first thing you'll notice is Ravens
everywhere. Ravens here, ravens there, ravens on the Christmas
tree. Why you ask? I'll let our resident storyteller spin you the
tale.
The Raven
"A long time ago, the Raven
looked down from the sky and saw that the people of the world
were living in darkness. The ball of light was kept hidden by a
selfish old chief. So the Raven turned himself into a spruce
needle, and floated on the river where the chief's daughter came
for water. She drank the spruce needle. She became pregnant and
gave birth to a boy, who was the Raven in disguise. The baby
cried and cried until the chief gave him the ball of light to
play with. As soon as he had the light, the Raven turned back
into himself. The Raven carried the light into the sky. From then
on, we no longer lived in darkness. "
