Inspirational Message Card reads:
Christmas traditions and rituals
Are steeped in history centuries old.
This design represents the origins
Of both the Christmas Tree
As well as Christmas ornaments.
According to legend, the 8th Century
Christian missionary St. Boniface was the first
To use the evergreen tree as a symbol of
Everlasting life in Christ,
As he taught the people of Germany.
In the 16th Century, when Martin Luther was inspired
By the sight of a star-y sky glittering
Through the evergreen boughs,
He is said to have been the very first
To decorate an evergreen tree by using candles.
Our traditions are filled with
Meaning, poetry, symbolism and drama.
Appreciating their origins links us with everyone
Who through the centuries have found meaning
In these expressions -- thereby
Enriching our lives and those of our children. |
