    Default The Story of the Christmas Tree (Why there is now a Christmas Tree)?

    https://www.returntoorder.org/2016/1...mNl9VE.twitter

    In the seventh century a monk from Crediton, Devonshire, went to Germany to teach the word of God. His name was St. Boniface. He did many good works there and spent much time in Thuringia, a region later to become the centre of the Christmas decoration industry.

    Tradition has it that St. Boniface used the triangular shape of the fir tree to describe the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The converted people began to revere the fir tree as God’s tree, as they had previously revered the oak.

    Christmas shares a lot of traditions with The Old Norse Pagan festival Yule including planting the evergreen.

    Yes good time of year - another superior European tradition.

    Kids put up the Christmas tree over the weekend and having them act like crazy kids with excitement and joy is what Christmas is about.
