How did the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree come about? The first mention of the so-called "Christmas tree" is found in German chronicles of the 17th century. It was a fir tree on which all sorts of sweets were hung. The Germans liked the idea so much that in a few decades the inhabitants of Germany could not imagine Christmas without a beautiful Christmas tree, which pleased not only with its beauty, but also with all sorts of goodies. This tradition was quickly adopted by other peoples inhabiting Europe. Queen Victoria of England even issued a special decree that on Christmas Eve a decorated fir tree must be present in the houses. Not only that, this decree obliged citizens to decorate the top of the tree with the "Star of Bethlehem", and on the tree should hang apples, which symbolized the "forbidden fruit", as well as on it must burn candles. And, of course, sweet gingerbread in the shape of biblical characters.
The inhabitants of Europe in the 17th and 18th century can only be pitied. They did not hang beads on the Christmas tree, did not decorate it with colorful glass balls and shiny tinsel. Their Christmas tree was sweet. Only in the 19th century primitive Christmas tree decorations appeared, which were made of cones, empty egg shells, which were wrapped in golden foil. Later artificial flowers and various figures made of absorbent cotton began to appear. Beads on the Christmas tree appeared as a result of a legend that told how a good fairy turned a spider's web of absorbent cotton into silver threads of rain, multicolored beads and bright tinsel.
