of the Christmas celebrations but its origins are ancient and pre-date Chris­ tianity. Pagans used


T


trees as p a r t of their religious cere­ monies. The Druids decorated oak trees with fruit and can­ dles in honour of their Gods of the Harvest. During the Roman festival of Saturnalia, trees were decorated with gifts and can­ dles. The Vikings


regarded evergreen coniferous trees as symbols th a t the

darkness of winter would end and that spring would return.. So hpw did the


tree become part of Christmas? One legend tells of Saint Boniface, who encountered some German pagans about to sacrifice a child at the base of an oak tree. He cut down the oak to prevent the sacri­ fice, and a fir tree grew in its place. St Boniface told the pagans th a t this was the Tree of Life and represented Christ. Another legend


ascribes the Christ­ mas tree to Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism. The legend tells how Luther saw the s ta rs


through


shining the

branches of a forest as he walked a t night, giving him an impression of twinkling lights. The beauty of this so impressed him that he cut down a small evergreen

and brought i t into his home to recre­ ate the scene using lighted candles on the tree’s branches. Germany seems


to have started the use of a decorated tree as p a r t of Christmas. When trees were scarce a wooden pyramid was sometimes used and this would be decorated with branches and can­ dles. In Britain the


Christmas, tree tra d i ­ tion was popularised in 1841 by Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, (both of German descent), who decorated a tree a t Windsor Castle with can­ dles, fruits, ginger­ bread and sweets. The use of the Christmas tree spread to America with German emi­ grants. Nowadays the


Christmas tree, (real or S3mthetic), is seen worldwide in homes, churches, workplaces and cities. A famous tree is


the one placed every year in Trafalgar Square, London, a gift from the people of Nor­ way in g ra t itu d e for the help th a t Britain gave during World War II.
