Decorating this years Yule Tree. Have you ever wondered the history of your Christmas Tree?
ᚨ
Vikings had a Yule tree which inspired the later Christmas tree. The green tree was often decorated with small statues of our Norse gods, food, and clothes, an attempted to call for the spirit of the forests.
Evergreen conifers, such as spruce, fir and pines (Christmas trees) remained green throughout the winter and came to represent the promise of new life, a reminder that spring was just around the corner. Plants and trees that remained green all year had a special meaning for people in the winter.
ᚨ
Vikings in Scandinavia honored the evergreen mistletoe for its role in the death of the Balder, a god of light.
ᚨ
In many countries outside of Scandinavia it was believed that evergreens would keep away witches, ghosts, evil spirits, and illness.
ᚦ
Christianity has simply incorporated much of the ancient Nordic practices to convert people over the years.
ᛗ
This year, Herja and myself have a fake Yule tree here in the desert where we are living. Nothing is ever green and not much life naturally exists(that’s the definition of a desert) so we playfully got a black Yule Tree. I think it looks kool and reminds us everything will still be dead around here next year 🖤🎄🖤
