Day 4: The Christmas Tree Ornaments
In medieval Europe, December 24th was declared Adam and Eve Day and a play about the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was performed to celebrate. Since fruit trees were impossible to find in the winter, the director of the play decided to use a pine tree decorated with apples to represent the Tree of Knowledge. The audience loved the decorated pine tree so much that years later families started decorating their own pine trees with fruit and other sweet treats.
Romans 5:19 says, “Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.”
One of the treats hidden among the fruit was a biscuit that was placed there to remind them that in the midst of our sin Jesus was sent to die on the cross for us.
Takeaway: Look at the ornaments on your tree. Are there any that have a special meaning to you? Are there any that remind you of God’s love?
