In 1941, Fr. Aloysius Horn (1899 – 1971), a native of St. Joseph parish in Fremont, published a book entitled “A Christmas Chronicle.” The book contains more than 80 short vignettes of Christmas throughout the centuries, featuring saints or historical figures. Originally printed by the St. Anthony Guild Press, it was more recently reprinted by the Neumann Press.
Fr. Horn was also an expert on Christmas crèches, starting the American Christmas Crib Society:http://www.friendsofthecreche.org/historyCrecheSocietiesUS.html
