Is A Christmas Tree A Religious Symbol

It s curious that christians latch on to it as if it were inherently christian.

Is a christmas tree a religious symbol. But if a religious symbol of a holiday is considered a tangible object intrinsically attached to that holiday and without which the holiday wouldn t be the same then no because the celebration of christmas does not require christmas trees. Originally derived from pagan religious celebrations in europe the christmas tree was adopted by christianity but never entirely at home in it. At a certain level the tradition of the christmas tree does appear to have historical connections with ancient germanic tree worship and idolatry. Yes the christmas tree has some connection with their religion but they don t really see it primarily as a religious symbol.

If it means anything to which religious significance can be attached then yes because many christians have attached religious significance to the christmas tree e g the tree of life both in eden and on calvary.
