Wording as follows:
Why do we eat mince pies at Christmas?
The very first mince pies were actually filled with meat that had been
shredded into little strips, called shred pies, and were often shaped to
look like Christ's manger. After 1660 the pies became more like those
enjoyed today, and often carried a star in the pastry, after the star of
Bethlehem.
Just a tradition, then, like Christmas?
Yes, except that Christmas, far from just being a story, marks a turning
point for mankind - the birth of God's son Jesus. His life, death
and resurrection have changed human history.
How do I find out more about Jesus?
