  • Summary

  • In the chilly winter of 1604, in the charming Alsatian town of Strasbourg, snow covers the rooftops, and candlelight flickers through frosted windows. Inside a home, a fir tree stands tall, decorated with paper roses, apples, and sweetmeats. This is the earliest recorded mention of the Christmas tree—a tradition that would grow to become a universal symbol of Christmas joy.
