Throughout the world a tree, especially a coniferous one, is used as a symbol of life. That is why it appears in every culture in various forms. The first time the Christmas tree appeared was in the 16th century. But before that we can remember it as the tree of good and evil - it is of course about the Bible and Adam and Eve, where Eve ate the apple from this forbidden tree. In Europe, these Christmas trees are believed to have been first adopted in Alsace, all thanks to Martin Luther who encouraged to spend Christmas in a family, home atmosphere.

Only later this custom came to the Catholic Church, at first it was popular in countries such as England and France, only a little later it spread throughout almost all of Europe and until now it is a very popular symbol of Christmas. It is still a very popular symbol of Christmas. Especially in villages, on the day of Wigli, the householder would go to the forest to get this kind of tree.

Decorating the tree - this is what children love to do now, especially with different kinds of Christmas decorations like baubles, lights and other less known ornaments. In the past, however, these were slightly different items. There were different kinds of gingerbread decorations like houses or cakes. Colored nuts or small apples were used to decorate them. Children enjoyed making different kinds of decorations out of tissue paper, straw, and other colorful paper.

Star of Bethlehem and other symbols - I always put it at the very top of the tree - its symbol was the return home from far away. She made sure that this return ended happily and had no contraindications. It also had the task of protecting us from all sorts of evil forces. As far as other symbols like apples are concerned, they were supposed to provide us with health and beauty. Another of such items were nuts which symbolized prosperity and strength. In turn bells symbolized good news for us. Lastly, angels were to protect and take care of our home.

If you find them under the Christmas tree, all children, regardless of their age, are particularly happy with them. You can find them usually on Christmas Eve or on December 6 and also on Christmas Eve itself. In the past, a Christmas tree itself was a unique and cool surprise for children. Today, it has gone a bit further and has been commercialized in large shopping malls, which are just waiting to make huge purchases of various types of Christmas gifts for children and adults.
