The tinsel baubles which bedeck the modern Christmas tree are said to represent the fruit which for early Christians symbolized the fall of man in the garden of Edeh` and his recla- mation by dKbirth of Jesus. There arelegends, too, con- cerning the pine tree. One says that the Holy Family was saved from Herod's soldiers by a pine tree. During the flight to Egypt, Mary was tired and they sought shelter in the hollow trunk of a huge fir tree. As the soldiers approached, the tree bent its branches to conceal the hud- "tiled little group. The legend says the Baby Jesus then blessed the tree - which explains why you can cut a pine cone length- wise at Christmastime and see the imprint of His little hand. to you this Christmas!
