Legend Says Christmas
Trees Come From Eoypt

Legend has it that the Christmas
tree originated in Egypt, where
the first trees used were palm
trees.
The Germans brought the tree
to America. however. as they also
introduced it to England. The Ger
man Prince Albert. consort OF
Queen Victoria, introduced the first
tree into England when he had a
tree for his young daughter.
Martin Luther is said 10 have
brought the first Christmas tree
indoors for decoration, early in the
18th century.
When you fasten ornaments to
your tree this year you will be

plants blossomed and lowered and
trees miraculously bore Yipened
fruit on the eve OF the frst Christ
