The Christmas Tree
Over a thousand years ago a Christian monk called Boniface went to Germany.
One night in December he was walking through a forest.
There he saw some people who were going to sacrifice a boy to their god, Odin.
They had the boy tied to an oak tree.
Boniface cut down the oak tree before the boy could be harmed.
In the ground between the roots of the oak tree was a small fir tree. Boniface used the event to tell the people about God's love.
Where God gave his son, Jesus, as the one and only sacrifice so that we might live with God forever.
Boniface then gave the little fir tree to them as a sign of eternal life, as its leaves were always green and didn't 'die' during winter.
So began the tradition of the Christmas tree.
