Christmas tree is not such an old tradition as it may seem at first glance. Although the roots of the tradition to put the New Year tree according to legend go back to the time of Jesus Christ. This custom was taken from the Germans.

There are two versions of the origin of the tradition of decorating the New Year tree. According to one version, the beginning of this tradition originates in the Christmas Holiday, according to another version, the tradition to decorate houses with tree branches for the new year took its beginning in Ancient Egypt, where houses were decorated with myrtle branches. And that was before the birth of Jesus Christ.

In Turkey and Vietnam, countries far from Christianity, there are also similar traditions.
