Whether you pull them out of the box in the attic or cut them down yourself, Christmas trees fill homes with warmth and joy during the festive season. Have you ever wondered how this tradition started? Let’s take a look!
Ancient Roots of Evergreen Traditions
Long before Christianity, evergreen plants held special significance during winter. Ancient civilizations draped their homes with boughs of pine, spruce, and fir, believing these evergreens warded off witches, ghosts, and illness.
The modern Christmas tree tradition took root in Germany during the 16th century. Devout Christians began bringing decorated trees into their homes, adorning them with candles and ornaments. By the 19th century, German immigrants brought this tradition to the United States, with Pennsylvania’s German settlers showcasing some of the earliest Christmas trees on American soil.
