A part in mistletoe folklore comes from Norse mythology. As the story goes, when the god Odin’s son Baldur was prophesied to die, his mother Frigg, the goddess of love, went to all the animals and plants of the natural world to secure an oath that they would not harm him. But Frigg neglected to consult with the unassuming mistletoe, so the scheming god Loki made an arrow from the plant and saw that it was used to kill the otherwise invincible Baldur. According to one sunnier version of the myth, the gods were able to resurrect Baldur from the dead. Delighted, Frigg then declared mistletoe a symbol of love and vowed to plant a kiss on all those who passed beneath it.

Technically, it traces back to ancient Norse mythology. At least, that's where the mistletoe's association with romance came from. It really picked up in the 18th century, when it became a tradition for British servants to kiss under a mistletoe. The tradition spread from there.

Do you consider Bishop Eusebius’s account to be reliable? Why or why not?
Tcecarenko [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Do you consider Bishop Eusebius’s account to be reliable?

No, really not.

The reason why because his account had created many controversies.

Eusebius has been known as the official historian of the church. He participated in the Council of Nice in 314, organized by Roman Emperor Constantine to revise the religious or historic documents that would end up being in the Bible.

So Eusebius based most of his comments on personal opinions and other historic document's interpretations. It is difficult to say that he did the proper research and had reliable sources. During the Nicea Council, a group of Bishops decided what documents had to be part of the Bible and which not, based on their own criteria. That is not a good indicator of the validity of the documents included, even less we can consider those as sacred.
