When Was The First Christmas Tree

One winter s night in 1536 so the story goes luther was walking through a pine forest near his home in wittenberg when he suddenly looked up and saw thousands of stars glinting jewel like among the branches of the trees.

When was the first christmas tree. Their parents were in panama at the time so they tucked it away there as a surprise for their seven young cousins who were visiting for the holiday. The christmas tree was first recorded to be used by german lutherans in the 16th century with records indicating that a christmas tree was placed in the cathedral of strasbourg in 1539 under the leadership of the protestant reformer martin bucer. The first recorded christmas tree can be found on the keystone sculpture of a private home in alsace in 1576. Legend has it that queen charlotte s compatriot martin luther the religious reformer invented the christmas tree.
