German legend says that Martin
Luther began the tradition of decorating trees to celebrate Christmas. After an
evening walk on Christmas Eve in 1500, he became inspired by the beauty of a
group of evergreen trees, their branches, dusted with snow, shimmering in the
moonlight.
The legend goes on to say that he shared the memory of wonderous beauty with
his children by decorating a small tree with lit candles, in honor of Christ's
birth.
Did you know that the angel or star that you put at the top of your Christmas
tree, that is a symbol of the heavenly host of angels or the Star of Bethlehem
from the Nativity story.
