Have you ever heard of hanging Christmas trees? If not, then now you know - this is true, not fiction. Let's talk a little more about this.
It turns out that this is far from an innovation. It was invented back in the Middle Ages in Europe and Germany. At that time, most people had houses that were not very big, or rather, even tiny. And everyone wants to celebrate the New Year, so they came up with this miracle. We can say that a spruce tree suspended from the ceiling was the only correct solution. She did not occupy all the space in the house. Modern toys will only add charm to such an inverted Christmas tree, so do not be afraid to experiment.
According to legend, such an unusual spruce symbolized devotion to Christian missionaries. Well, they, in turn, used the branches of the trees in order to explain the meaning of the Trinity - God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And the spruce tree suspended from the ceiling proved that it was not just a flower decoration for the home.
In the 12th century, Germany mistook the tree for the tree of God and a symbol of such a holiday as Christmas. After a while, the religious meaning, of course, was lost, and the trees began to be placed vertically, as all the people do to this day.
It is believed that in 1521 the German people first decorated the Christmas tree, only at that time miniature Christmas trees and slightly other decorations were used.
Such an unusual spruce is coming back into fashion. It looks unique and unique. This is the best solution if you have little space in your home. As they say, everything new is well forgotten old. Good luck!
