The first recorded use of MERRY CHRISTMAS goes back to 1534 in a letter dated December 22 by imprisoned English Bishop John Fisher to lawyer and activist Thomas Cromwell. In his letter, Fisher—who had been in the Tower of London prison for eight months for refusing to recognize King Henry VIII as the “Supreme Head of the Church and Clergy of England”—asked for clothing and food, closing the letter with, “And this our Lord God send you a merry Christmas…” Nonetheless, St. John Fisher was executed the following year. The Church declared him a saint 400 years later in 1935.
