Mistletoe was held sacred by the Norse peoples and the Celtic Druids. Holly was used by the ancient Romans at the Roman Saturnalia festival. To avoid persecution, early Christians would hang holly on their doors during this festival. Therefore, mistletoe probably originated in Great Britain and holly in Italy (ancient Rome).
