•And now the story of

modern Christmas

tree

• The custom of a Christmas tree, undecorated, is believed to have begun in Germany, in the first half of the 700s.

The history of the modern Christmas tree goes back to 16th century Germany. In Alsace (Elsass), dated 1561, states that "no burgher shall have for Christmas more than one bush of more than eight shoes' length." The decorations hung on a

tree in that time, the earliest we have evidence of, were "roses cut of many-colored paper, apples, wafers, gilt,

sugar." Around Strasbourg there was a widespread practice of bringing trees (evergreens, not necessarily a fir-tree) into

houses for decoration during Christmastide.

• The modern custom is also connected with the Paradise tree hung with apples, present in the

medieval religious plays. The decorations could symbolize the Christian Hosts. Instead of trees,

various wooden pyramidal structures were also used. In 17th century the Christmas tree spread through Germany and Scandinavia. Eventually the tree was

extensively decorated, first with candles and candies, then with apples and confections, later with anything

glittering mass-produced paraphernalia.
