It’s difficult to imagine Christmas without decorated trees. But do they have any “redeeming” value for Christians? And how did the idea get started in the first place? I think the answer to the first question is a resounding YES! The answer to the second question is a LITTLE bit longer.
Believe it or not, the Christmas tree as we know it today actually took more than 700 years to make!
For many years, one of our family’s Christmas traditions has been a retelling of the history behind the colors and symbols of Christmas. Each year we start with the color green and the symbol of the Christmas tree. It really is an amazing story, one that seems to make the most sense when we think of it as happening in three main acts. I hope you enjoy learning the story as much as we enjoy rehearsing it each year!
If you’d like to read it to your own family, here’s the written version of this podcast.
