Thank you so much for posting this. I never tire of reading the story of the Truce, though I’d guess I’ve read it 20 times over the years.

“I never tire of reading the story of the Truce...”

Many don’t know that this has happened before. Here’s a little more info for you:

The famous 1914 WWI one, soldiers from both sides, including men who were Freemasons (like many soldiers were!), often found small moments of shared humanity and peace during Christmas, exchanging gifts, singing carols, and sharing food. In unofficial pauses between fighting, this has happened a number of times like around the Rappahannock River in the civil war when soldiers from the north and south did it in 1862.
