Legend has it that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, was walking through the forest one snowy evening and noticed how beautifully the stars twinkled above. He brought some evergreen branches indoors to recreate this effect for his children, thus sparking the tradition of decorating Christmas trees.
In Germany, where Christmas trees originated, families would often decorate their homes with evergreens during the winter months to symbolize hope and renewal. The tree itself represented eternal life, while ornaments were believed to possess magical powers that brought good fortune.
