If you ask a hundred people what are the things that remind them of Christmas, some of them are likely to answer Christmas tree, either in plural or singular form. The history of Christmas Trees allegedly goes back to between 7th to 8th centuries B.C., during which it was said that St. Boniface cut down the tree of Thor in German to disprove the legitimacy of the local German tribe’s Norse gods. After he cut down the old oak, he saw a fir tree grew in the roots of the older tree. As a symbol of his faith, he took the fir tree and encouraged the people to let Christ be at the center of their households. However, the Christmas Tree tradition as we know today was initiated by Martin Luther, who used the tree to symbolize the Tree of Life, as a counterpart against the nativity scene brought up by the Catholics.
In Bremen, during the Middle Ages, Christmas Trees would be decorated using apples, nuts, pretzels, dates and paper flowers. The tree would be set up in the guild house for the children who collected dainties on Christmas day. For hundreds of years later, Christmas trees generally made of evergreen spruce or coniferous trees have been incorporated into Christmas traditions around the world.
