Why the Christmas
Tree Is Associated
With Christmas
Digging back Into tho folk loro of
various nations wo find a number of
legends surrounding tho llglitcd.nnd-prescnt-bedocked
free wldch ls now
a symbol of Christmas in a majority
of homes throughout the world.
Sir George BlrdaWood tho eminent
Egyptologist explains tho Christmas
treo as "being derived from tho an-
cient Egyptian practice of decking
houses at tho tlmo of tho winter sol-
stice with branches ot tie dato-palm
tho symbol of llfo over death."
Tho Scandinavians still relate the
story of tho "service treo" which
sprang from the bloqd drenched toll
where two lovers had died ahd int cor-
taln nights lu tho Christmas Season
mysterious lights were neon flaming
from its branches lights that no wind'
could extinguish.
The French version- of the story
Is that ono ot tho early knirrhts found
a gigantic treo whose branches wero
covered with 'burning candles noiuo
upside down and some .standing erect
and at tho top the vision of a child
with A halo round Us head. Tho
knights asked the pope for an cxpla.
nation of tho .mystery nnd wero told
that the tree undoubtedly represented
mankind tho candles good and bad
humans and the child as tho Saviour
A" a permanent jnstltvtU i the
Christmas tree can ba traced rack ontv
as far as the sixteenth century ap-
pearing apparently tor tho first time
In its now accepted fprm in Strass-
bourg. For several centuries tho tree
remained a custom which was confin-
ed almost entirely to Germany. Later
however the trees were sold In tho
markets in Franco and Paris uses now
nearly 100000 of them each year. The
marrlago of Queen Victoria brought
the trea to England and emigrants
to this country spread this delightful
custom here.
