It is often said that it was Prince Albert of Saxony-Coburg-Gotha, husband of Queen Victoria, who introduced the Christmas tree to England in 1840. However, although Albert and Victoria popularized this tradition born in Germany, the honor of carrying the Christmas tree to the United Kingdom belongs to the "good Queen Charlotte", the German wife of King George III, who placed the first English tree in Queen's Lodge, near Windsor Castle, in December 1800.
According to legend, it was the religious reformer Martin Luther, compatriot of Queen Charlotte, who invented the Christmas tree. One winter night in 1536, as the story goes, Luther was walking through a pine forest near his house in Wittenberg when he suddenly looked up and saw thousands of stars shining like jewels among the branches of the trees. This view inspired him to place a fir tree lit with candles at his house that Christmas to remind his children of the starry sky from where Jesus is.
By the beginning of the next century, Christmas trees were expanding through homes in southern Germany. Because in that year an anonymous writer recorded how in Yuletide the inhabitants of Strasbourg planted fir trees in the halls ... "and hung roses cut on paper of various colors, apples, wafers, aluminum foil, candy, etc." When the princess Carlota was born, in the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, in 1744, the custom of adorning and illuminating branches of the tree known as yew tree spread throughout Germany.
