  2. John Evelyn

    25 December 1652

    Christmas day, no sermon anywhere, no church being permitted to be open, so observed it at home. The next day, we went to Lewisham, where an honest divine preached.

    25 December 1653

  4. John Evelyn

    25 December 1654

    Christmas day. No public offices in churches, but penalties on observers, so as I was constrained to celebrate it at home.
