Spruce tattoo: everything you need to know about this tree

The coniferous tree adorns the houses in which Santa Claus will bring children gifts related to childhood, the spruce has a special place in the human heart. Not knowing if the tattooed adults are children who still believe in wonderful Christmas tales, we may notice that some have them inked on their bodies.

The Christmas tree is rooted in pagan traditions and was restored by Christians before setting off to conquer the world during the holidays. Usually you have to put up a tree on Christmas Eve, December 24th, and put it away after twelve nights - but hey, it's so great to see a tree that it's hard to respect.

In the Christian tradition, the tree symbolizes the renewal of life - a theme that is also present in pagan religions. In Scandinavia, it is customary to decorate your home with fir branches in winter. On December 24, the Celts decorated the ate with fruits and flowers, wheat.

In Germany, Protestants have decorated this tree every year since the 1870s, when the first Christmas balls appear, and the practice has since spread throughout Europe. He was taken to the United States, where many Germans left for settlement. In France, this tradition is also present among the Alsatians, they will tell their compatriots about it when they flee from the hostilities of the XNUMX war.

In order not to cut down the planet by uprooting spruce trees, plantations dedicated to this tree meet the demand. Denmark is the largest exporter in the world: the country ships at least 10 million! When the holidays are over, some trees can be replanted - a good gesture for the planet never hurts. In the USA, for practical purposes, we prefer to use an artificial tree, which first appeared in Germany in the XNUMX century, but it turned out that the calculation is not the most environmentally friendly. In France, Morvan is the first area for growing spruces.
