ABOUT TREES
On the night Christ was born,
legend says, all the trees burst
into bloorn. Thus bean many
stories about the Christmas tree.
Early folk tales described a
huge tree in the midst of a
forest. The tree held many
candles, some straight, some
upside down. At the top was
an infant with a halo around
his head.
It was believed that the tree
represented humanity. The
candles , up and down, symbol-
ized people, good and bad. The
infant was Christ Jesus.
