The Christmas tree is a tradition that warms the hearts of citizens.

The tree is decorated around December 6, as it is connected with the celebration of Saint Nicholas.

Its beginnings as a Christian tradition are associated with St. Boniface in Germany during the 8th century.

Its origin is pagan, but the church, like many other symbols, adopted it and gave it a special meaning.

What the Christmas Tree symbolizes is the Tree of Life.

The symbolic verticality of the fir was most emphasized by Christians.

This tree, constantly pointing to the heavens, was a reminder to seek heavenly treasures rather than earthly ones.

It was a symbol of the saints, their selflessness and patience.

As a striking Christian symbol, the fir tree also played the role of a communicative symbol and a mediator between heaven and earth, as its roots were in the earth, while its branches pierced the sky.
