A Brief History Of The Christmas Tree (Where Did The Come From?)
Показать описание
Well it's that time of the year again, At least for me when I'm recording this And as we all know you can't have Christmas without a Christmas tree. Buttt Is that exactly true? I mean the Christmas tree is a symbol of Christmas itself so of course It's been around forever right?
Not exactly, The first recorded instance of a Christmas tree dates back to around the 15th and 16th century in Germany, but Evergreen Plants were used well before The year 0 on the calendar. In fact much like the holiday itself the Christmas tree has its roots with paganism.
You see the Bible never actually specifies when Jesus was born so people Just did the best they could To pick a day and say this is the day we will celebrate his birth. Eastern countries decided to start celebrating his birth on January 6th which worked fine until The idea of Christmas started spreading West. Western churches came up with a clever idea To convert pagans by adding a Christian undertone to the winter solstice Watch priest thought would help Attract pigeons Since they already celebrated it. the winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and marks the transition of days getting shorter to when days begin getting longer. One of the many traditions of the winter solstice was to decorate your home with Evergreen plants. The Romans did this as a symbol of the green fields that will come with Summer other groups did it Because they believed Evergreen plants Possessed a magic quality and would help fend off ghosts or other evil spirits.
