First Christmas Tree, The by Henry van Dyke (1852 - 1933)

First Christmas Tree, The by Henry van Dyke (1852 - 1933)

Author: LibriVox

This is a folk tale of how the first tree came into being. It tells of a hero Winfried with his young companion stepping boldly into the pagan right of the passing into winter. He preaches the gospel of Christ and His birth on that night; then from the heavens came a miracle that resulted in the salvation of the people. To celebrate, they brought new life or the Christmas tree into their homes. (Summary by Penny Ann)
