What is the meaning of the Christmas tree?
The tradition of the Christmas tree has existed since the Romans. However, at that time, the birth of the sun god was celebrated at the beginning of the winter solstice on December 21. As the trees were considered the link between Earth and Heaven, symbolizing fertility, they were decorated with different ornaments and with the traditional star on top, symbolizing the sun god.
However, the Christmas tree we know today comes from Germany in the 16th century. The pine was chosen because of its triangular shape, to represent the holy trinity and also because the pine preserves the green of its leaves even in the coldest times. It is a promise of life!
Today, we can consider that the decoration of the Christmas tree means life, with the colored balls symbolizing the “fruits” of life and the lights reflecting the stars. The top star – usually the highlight of the Christmas tree – symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem. And the candles are the light of Christ and the roses are homage to the Virgin Mary. Every detail is even more special, isn’t it?!
