The modern Christmas tree origin originated in western Germany. The main prop of a popular medieval play about Adam and Eve was a fir tree hung with apples (paradise tree) representing the Garden of Eden. The Germans set up a paradise tree in their homes on December 24, the religious feast day of Adam and Eve. They hung wafers on it (symbolizing the host, the Christian sign of redemption); in a later tradition the wafers were replaced by cookies of various shapes. Candles, too, were often added as the symbol of Christ. In the same room, during the Christmas season was the Christmas pyramid a triangular construction of wood with shelves to hold Christmas figurines decorated with evergreens candles and a star. By the 16th century, the Christmas pyramid and paradise tree had merged, becoming the Christmas tree (Encyclopædia Britannica, 2003).
