what is the story behind chrimas tree.?

Answer 1

It was a conversion compromise between the Celtics and the early Christians.

Answer 2

It's much more ancient than German or Celtic, or any other country and the concept can be tracked back to stone age. It is the world tree.
To the stone age people the world represented itself as a tree, where the crown was heaven, inhabited with birds, trunk was Earth, allocated to humans and animals, and roots - underworld, allocated to fish and snakes (allegorically). Its crown reaches the sky. The pictures of trees can be found on the walls of the caves.
Every year, it was believed, the world was born/made anew. It happened on New Year. Everything had to be allocated its place again: sun must be put on the Heaven, day must be made follow night, and so on.
Several days after New Year the world was re-made and was in a state of Chaos. Anything could have happened then, even the destruction of the word. To preserve the world, it was necessary to preform certain rites. And to put up a tree , adorned with figures of animals and insects. Such a tree would be a pattern, so the restoration of the world will be successful and the new world will be exactly the same as the old one.
Several days after the New Year the order was restored, and the world acquired its cosmogony - as opposing to Chaos of the previous, creative days.
The forces which creates world anew every year changed during the centuries. First they were "ancestors" - people who died and went to live in a different world. They were nameless, and could look after the tribe, insure it prosperity, good harvest, hunting and so on.
Later it was gods, specific to any given region. Yet later the world
is created only once - in the Bible, but the pattern of creation is
the same as we see in ancient days - chaos, from which emerges cosmos, and every beast is allocated its proper place.
So, the Christmas tree represents the world tree. It was incorporated into Christianity among many other beliefs. It moved from New Year to Christmas, and the tree became a symbol of Christ (palm tree).
Even nowadays that belief persists in different countries.
It is customary to leave a plate of food under the tree for the
ancestors/souls who will return to our world these days. All the
predictions are done during this time, too.
Many of the people are familiar with the concept of the world tree
from fairy tales. A hero growing a tree from a stone, a pea, a large
tree which reaches heaven and allows him to climb up is one of the patterns. Many have seen the picture of it, too, in fairy tales, say, anything which has to do with cosmogony, they just did not pay any attention.

Answer 3

A Christmas tree is one of the most popular traditions associated with the celebration of Christmas. It is normally an evergreen coniferous tree that is brought into a home or used in the open, and is decorated with Christmas lights and colourful ornaments during the days around Christmas.

History
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. It is difficult to tell all mythological/historical beliefs and stories here. More stories on Christmas Tree can be had from the source website mentioned below-

Answer 4

The Evergreen tree is an enduring creature that lasts the Winter in all its glory. It is revered for this quality. It was and sometimes is decorated where it takes its roots into the dark earth as a way of honoring the tree(s). This is a non-Christian thing. The concept of presents given comes most directly from the Roman Saturnalia... which was a festival of the Harvest. It was a time of Plenty and generosity for the coming winter.

Answer 5

The Christmas tree was introduced as a Christmas symbol in the mid to late 1800's by the Germans. They called it "Taunenbaum" and later added decorations to liven up the spirit of the holiday.
Still today you may hear a Christmas song around the hollidays called :"Oh Taunenbaum" than best describes the feeling and resemblance to the representation of the image of this tree.
