“Another version of the legends about the Christmas tree goes back to
the 1300's. During that time, artists used to roam around in the streets
carrying huge pine boughs, loaded with apples.
This act was a kind of
advertisement for the miracle plays they used to stage on the steps of
the church, the plays about Adam and Eve, with the boughs representing
the Garden of Eden.
Slowly and gradually, this 'paradise tree' came to
be associated with life and was named as the 'Christ Child's Tree' and
after words Christmas tree”.
Christmas trees have a long and exciting history. During the
pre-Christian era, people and tribes often had holy groves and trees
where they sacrificed to the gods. The trees were most often oak or ash,
and they symbolized a connection between heaven and earth. Similar
ideas are found in the Old Testament – trees symbolized wisdom and life.
