the procurement of the evergreen pine, fir or spruce and its decoration with
colored lighting and little gifts. Trees represent life and our existence.
Germany started the Christmas tree custom with candles before the coming of
electric lights. What does the tree represent? The Tree of Life existed in the
Garden of Paradise which represents the Biblical tradition of Adam and Eve and
the forbidden fruit, the apple.

trees have made it cheaper and easier to decorate, most people would prefer to
have the real thing yet we must not destroy nature so much. The Christmas tree
serves as the focus for our spirituality and has a hundred meanings that go
deep into the soul. We are reminding ourselves of the noble virtues of Jesus
and his concern to redeem humanity and bring an end to suffering. A glimpse of
the faith filled Christmas tree removes all the tensions, sorrows and worries that
humanity always suffers from.

decorated? Christmas tree was first decorated in 16th century in European
country Latvia. People used to comprise natural trees in earlier years of
Christmas festival. Fir trees were used often for this purpose. But things have
changed now instead of natural trees people like to use synthetic trees because
it are cheap and not needed to take care of those .
