The Christmas tree, a symbol of death and salvation, reflects a profound paradox: its pagan origins and transformation through Saint Boniface mirror the cross itself.
Saint Boniface's legend, where he cut down a sacred oak to demonstrate Christian faith, shows how pagan symbols transformed to embody values of light and hope.
While the Bible does not mention Christmas trees directly, the evergreen tree invokes themes of resurrection, as seen in biblical figures like the Tree of Life.
The evergreen fir tree became a poignant symbol of eternal life and Christianity's triumph over the barrenness of winter, celebrating hope amidst death.
