Christmas trees crafting, carpentry, drawing and painting - collectible blog
A Christmas tree is inextricably linked to Christmas. A Christmas tree in the house, a Christmas tree on the village square, one in the classroom and of course to make your own crafts. We all think it's quite normal, but where does this tradition come from?
Presumably the Christmas tree originates from Germanic traditions, but also the Romans used to decorate their houses with green branches. Green trees and branches symbolized fertility and divinity in both the Romans and Germanic. It was noticed that all the trees lost their leaves, except for the pine tree, which is why it became popular. A green tree was the sign of the new spring, a time of flowering. That is why the Germans put down a green tree during midwinter night, the shortest day of the year. Often in the middle of the village. It was then decorated with apples and other attributes, which marked the beginning of a new season.
The tradition of the Christmas tree has become a life of its own over the years. Nowadays, a Christmas tree can not be alternative or fur enough, and a homemade Christmas tree is completely hip and always popular with children for crafting.
