Christag and Christmas

Meaning

The English body renders Christag as “Christ’s day,” while note n239 gives its ordinary Christmas Day sense. The note is more specific than the body translation and can be reported as such. Neither wording supplies a year.

The accompanying “bey St. Peter” does not identify a unique church or city. The meeting summons should consequently remain an unresolved historical-text reference, not a reconstructed appointment. Its temporal and spatial obscurity belongs beside the unexplained closing initials rather than being filled from a guessed fraternity history.
