It has something to do with Pagan traditions, as Christmas is Pagan holiday historically speaking, not in fact a Christian one.

Where Christmas tree worms live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well the Christmas Tree worm has two large appendages also known as tentacles or gills These appendages filter out the phytoplankton in the water and send it down the spirals into their mouth. These also look like Christmas trees where the worm got its name............This worm is actually a tube worm which means a marine worm built a tube around itself! These worms don't live in huge groups and hide in their coral burrows with the slightest shadow or touch. They only live to be ten and can grow to 4cm in length.........

Thanks hope this helps.

How do Christians decorate Christmas trees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many Christians decorate their Christmas trees with religious icons and symbols, including (but not limited to) crosses, figurines of people considered holy (such as Jesus, Mary, and Joseph), figurines of more general things or beings (such as angels), and ornaments of the usual round, spherical shape with images of people or events considered to be holy (e.g. the nativity scene). It is important to note that more traditional ornaments, such as simple coloured balls, are usually used in addition to these religion-specific ones.

As an aside, the fact that Christians today erect and decorate Christmas trees is actually quite ironic, since they originated from a pagan tradition, and were originally used as a phallic icon (i.e. something which represents a penis), as a symbol of fertility.

The Origin of the Christmas tree and the Christmas tree fairy.


The fir tree has a long association with Christianity. It began in Germany almost 1,000 years ago when St. Boniface, who converted the German to Christianity, was said to have come across a group of Pagans worshiping an oak tree. In anger, St. Boniface is said to have cut down the oak tree and to his amazement a young fir tree sprung up from th roots of the oak tree. St. Boniface took this as a sign of the Christian faith. But t was not until the 16th century that fir trees were brought indoors at Christmas time and the angel got put onto it along with other festive decorations such as baubles and snowflakes to represent the festive time of year.

  • A beautifully decorated evergreen tree, with colored lights ablaze inspires in many warm memories of Christmases long past. The Christmas tree has become one of the most beloved and well known holiday symbols.
  • Christmas trees originated in the Germanic states around the 15th century. Evergreen trees, especially the Fir tree, being beautiful and green in the winter were commonly used for decorations. The triangular shape was suggestive of the Christian Trinity and the evergreen trees were used to symbolize the "Tree of Life."
  • Then later on Martin Luther used the Christmas Tree as a symbol for the Tree of Life instead of the nativity.
