Christmas is about traditions and memories. The Christmas tree is a strong symbol of Christmas. It serves as the family’s center of attention. In fact, it is the center of most Christmas ceremonies all over the world. Beautifully decorated Christmas trees are something that the entire family will always value and remember.
Christmas trees have a long and interestibg history. During the pre-Christian era, people and tribes often had holy groves and trees where they sacrificed to the gods. The trees symbolized a connection between heaven and earth. Similar ideas are found in the Old Testament, where trees symbolized wisdom and life.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, German tradesmen were holding parties and they placed a spruce inside theitrhouse. A legend says that Martin Luther put candles on the leaves. This was the symbol of the stars twinkling among the forest’s trees.
In the 17th century, the tradition of decorated Christmas trees in connection with festivities spread out to the German towns, and from there, to other parts of Europe. In the USA the Christmas tree became popular only in the 18th century. Today, the lighting of the Christmas Tree has become a major event all over the world, in every country and every town.
