medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture John, do you by any chance have a reference for this? I ask out of interest, but also because of a family story. A friend of ours works in a Famous London Store - it shall be nameless but it sells a lot of high-quality food and makes a lot of money at Christmas. So they start their Christmas preparations in September. So my friend found them choosing music and obviously thinking 'Christmas ... boy trebles ...' they were playing Faure's Pie Jesu. My friend (being a good Catholic) attempted to explain why it wasn't really Christmassy, as such, and they looked at her in complete bewilderment. But from what you said, it looks as though it could have been more appropriate than they knew!
