По другой легенде, елку ввел в употребление Мартин Лютер, который ходил по лесу на Рождество и увидел как над елкой сияет звезда, которая показалась ему совершенно тождественной той Вифлеемской Заре, и он поставил ту ель у себя дома и украсил ее звездой. Таким образом, якобы елка пришла в Западную Европу.

Первоначально, когда появилась елка, ее украшали фруктами, яблоками, например, которые символизируют тот же Первородный Грех Адама и Евы.
How beautifully our carols combine the remnants of this still pagan time and the majestic light of Christ's faith on our purely folk, national soil!

"Shedryvky" are ritual songs performed on a generous evening, the evening on the eve of the new year. They usually began with the words of greeting: "Generous evening, good evening."

It was the time of divination for the coming year; and that is why we still have a whole series of pre-Christian elements in Christmas customs, whose purpose was to call for a good harvest in the following year, wealth and prosperity in the house of the master, lucky catches for the hunter, a wedding for a girl and a happy journey for a young man - a prince's wife or the prince himself. All the natural forces of nature are appeased and called upon not to harm people and livestock.
