It has read, and continues to read, as follows:

"Tomorrow, God willing, is the graceful celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour; and thus is declared a peaceful Christmas time to all, by advising devotion and to behave otherwise quietly and peacefully, because he who breaks this peace and violates the peace of Christmas by any illegal or improper behaviour shall under aggravating circumstances be guilty and punished according to what the law and statutes prescribe for each and every offence separately.

Finally, a joyous Christmas feast is wished to all inhabitants of the city!"


(As of 1899, the crimes committed on christmas time, have actually not been punished under aggravating circumstances. Oh, the modern times.)

Not to jinx things, it's that time of the year again. 

Quite a year, 2020, as present in this festive event as well: the Old Square closed off, choirs downsized with safety distancing, the Navy Band too.
