Where did a Christmas tree com from?

Answer 1

It's origin is pre-Christian. In Roman and Egyptian Pagan, and in Pagan Norse and Celtic Winter Solstice celebrations the evergreen tree brought indoors and decorated with nuts and fruit sometime gold baubles to symbolize the sun and a living fruitful tree.

Think of how dark the days are the end of December and they didn't have the scientific knowledge yet to understand that the Earth was just turning away from the sun and would come around again. it was mysterious and a bit frightening. But many ancients studied the skies and had crated solar calenders and could mark the darkest day- Winter Solstice and knew that the days would become brighter after that day- if the Gods were agreeable.

Many of the celebrations of Winter Solstice have incorporated into modern Christmas celebrations.
