When baked, it is cut into three divisions; a part of each to be eaten and the remainder put under the pillow. When the clock strikes twelve, each votary must go to bed backwards and keep a profound silence, whatever may appear."
[518] A writer in the Gentleman's Magazine for July, 1783, inquires: "May not the minced pye, a compound of the choicest productions of the East, have in view the offerings made by the wise men who came from afar to worship, bringing spices, etc." Quoted in Brand, Pop. Ant., vol. 1, p. 526. The mince pie was before the Reformation made in the form of a crib, to represent the manger in which the holy child lay in the stable. Ibid., p. 178.
