Answer 9

In a word "tradition". By the same token do you have a tree in your house at Christmas time?. If so are you a Pagan?, as a Christmas tree has nothing to do with the Birth of Christ it was a Pagan thing but now it's a tradition to mark Christmas. Wow 11 thumbs down, that's a record for me! ty all. But what I said about the Christmas Tree is right, think about it, not too many Pine trees about in Jerusalem when Christ was nailed to the Cross. We got the idea of Christmas trees from Queen Victoria's Husband Prince Albert who was German. Just because someone says something you don't like, doesn't make it not so!. see below.
With likely origins in European pre-Christian pagan cultures, the Christmas tree has gained an extensive history and become a common sight during the winter season in numerous cultures.


[edit] Germanic tribes
Patron trees (for example, the Irminsul, Thor's Oak and the figurative Yggdrasil) held special significance for the ancient Germanic tribes, appearing throughout historic accounts as sacred symbols and objects. Among early Germanic tribes the Yule tradition was celebrated by sacrificing male animals and slaves by suspending them on the branches of trees.[citation needed]

According to Adam of Bremen, in Scandinavia the pagan kings sacrificed nine males of each species at the sacred groves every ninth year.[citation needed] According to one legend, Saint Boniface attempted to introduce the idea of trinity to the pagan tribes using the cone-shaped evergreen trees because of their triangular appearance.[citation needed]

Dionysus in his Triumphant Return; behind the god, Victoria holds an evergreen.The Christmas tree is often explained as a Christianization of the ancient pagan idea that the evergreen tree represents a celebration of the renewal of life.[citation needed]


[edit] Rome
Roman mosaics from what is today Tunisia, showing the mythic triumphant return from India of the Greek god of wine and male fertility, Dionysus (dubbed by some modern scholars as a life-death-rebirth deity), the god carries a tapering coniferous tree. This Christianization process is arguably seen in the Old English poem the Dream of the rood, in which the tree is the cross on which Jesus was crucified. The poem also refers to the Tree of knowledge of good and evil in Genesis./
