People decorate the tree to symbolize life and fertility, especially during the long winter months. Even then, they hung decorations on the trees during the winter to ward off evil spirits and welcome spring.In Germany, the custom began in the 16th century. At first, people hung apples, nuts and pastries on the trees, which stood for life and abundance. They also decorated the trees with paper flowers and straw stars. The apples represented the tree of life from the story of creation, while the straw stars symbolized the star of Bethlehem.Over the years, people continued to develop the decorations. In the 19th century, the custom of hanging candles on the trees, which embodied light and hope, arose. Later, electric fairy lights replaced the candles to prevent fires.A particularly important tradition arose in Germany with the hanging of glass ornaments. Glassblowers in Lauscha, Thuringia, began making delicate glass figures in the 19th century. These ornaments gained worldwide recognition and shaped classic Christmas decorations. To this day, artisans keep this tradition alive.In addition to balls and stars, angels, gnomes, animals and bells also decorate Christmas trees. Each of these figures has a special meaning. Angels symbolize Gods protection, bells remind us of the good news of the birth of Christ, and gnomes like the one pictured represent protection and kindness that protect the home and family.
