Question: Why do we kiss under the mistletoe?

 

Answer: It comes from the Norse legends of Baldr, son of Odin and Frigga. When Baldr was killed by an arrow of mistletoe, his mother Frigga, goddess of love, cried unto the arrow. From hear tears turned into white berries that she used to revive Baldr. Overjoyed, she blessed the mistletoe and promised a kiss to all who passed beneath it.
