son for children: the ever-
green tree was an emblem
of immortality, while the
apples stood for sin. Round
wafers were hung on the
tree to symbolize redemp-
tion. The strictly moralis-

dise tree gradually faded
into pure decoration as
apples were replaced by
glittering ornaments, and
plain wafers took on the
shapes of moon and stars,
of men and animals.

The decorated Christ-
mas tree as we know it de-
veloped from the miracle
plays of the Middle Ages.
The plays originated as
liturgical cantatas sung in
Latin in churches with
very slight dramatization,
Scenery was held to a min-
imum. The Garden of
Eden, for example, was
designated by a fir tree
hung with apples, This
Paradise tree, as it was
called, represented the Fall
of Man, not the Nativity.
As the miracle plays
gained popularity, they be-
came more elaborate, with
more characters, more
scenery, even live animals

cel. Moved outdoors, the
plays became increasingly
secular until, about 1450,
their performance was
banned.
The tree of Eden, the
Paradise tree, somehow
survived in the public
mind after its play was
forbidden. It was set up in
