| Comment | Decorating an evergreen tree is a pagan tradition. It is a part of winter solstice to find an evergreen tree & celebrate it, it was thought in pagan tradition by celebrating a green tree you would bring the green & plenty back to the land.
It’s actually directly referenced in the bible as something you shouldn’t do. Jeremiah 10:1-4
“Hear what the Lord says to you, people of Israel. This is what the Lord says:
“Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them.
For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter.” |
