Why Christmas is Decorated
1. First of all, the color of the Christmas decorations is obscuring red. It needs to be understood that, in fact, it is not a color chosen at random, but the color of the blood that Jesus shed when he was nailed to the cross. The Christmas tree, which is necessary for Christmas, is the prototype of the holly tree. But because of its triangular shape, holly was first used by 16th-century believers to mean “three in one”. Does not die in winter, therefore, means longevity. The thorny leaves of European holly represent the “crown of thorns” on Jesus’ head when he was crucified, and the red fruit on the tree represents the blood of Jesus. Therefore, European holly is also called.
2. Secondly, the real star on the top of the Christmas tree is called the “Star of Bethlehem”. You need to know that it is the most characteristic sign in the decoration of the Christmas tree. It means the supernova that appeared in the sky when Jesus was born, and it reveals the location of Jesus’ birth. , means the redemption of Jesus, the glory of Christ, the eternal hope of mankind. Putting gifts under the Christmas tree comes from the legend that the 3 Magi presented gifts to the baby Jesus, and at the same time, it also means expelling demons.
3. Finally, the silver/white ribbons on the Christmas tree represent the holiness of Jesus Christ, which is particularly beautiful, and the golden ribbons represent glory. The prototype of the Christmas ball is the apple, which means the abundant supply of Eden, the paradise on earth. As the fruit of wisdom in the Garden of Eden, the apple not only means the fruit that brings joy, such as rich fruit or happiness, but also represents the gratitude of the people to the star of Bethlehem.
