Christmas trees and wreaths have become a part of our tradition in celebrating the birth of Jesus. The tradition, over the years, has produced symbols to remind us of the birth of Jesus and God’s love for us. The evergreen is a symbol of everlasting life. The star on top of the tree represents the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the Wise Men. The lights represent Jesus as the Divine Light that every Christian should follow, like the Wise Men. The gift bow symbolizes Christians’ commitment to everlasting goodwill. The candy cane is the shepherd’s crook that helps bring back the lost sheep. In addition, the wreath is symbolic of the eternal love from God to all faithful persons.
