According to another legend, the Christmas tree was introduced into use by Martin Luther, who was walking through the forest at Christmas and saw a star shining above the Christmas tree, which seemed to him to be absolutely identical to the Star of Bethlehem, and he put that Christmas tree in his home and decorated it with a star. This is how the Christmas tree allegedly came to Western Europe. And later, in the 19th century, it was borrowed by France, later taken over by England, it even stood in the Windsor Palace, and later German immigrants who moved to America also brought a Christmas tree. Initially, when the Christmas tree appeared, it was decorated with fruits, apples, for example, which symbolize the same Original Sin of Adam and Eve.


Сеюсь-сеяю, подсеваю,
С Новым годом поздравляю,
Со скотом, с животом,
С пшеничкой, с овсецом! Колядников приглашали в дом, сажали за нарядный стол и угощали. Зерна, разбросанные колядниками, подбирали все к одному, хранили их, а весной бросали в землю первыми, надеясь, что они обеспечат хороший урожай. В руках у колядников обязательно было солнце. Делали его из старых ободов, украшали разноцветными лентами.

"Carols" were baked on Vasiliev's Eve, addressed to the owners of the house, as well as separately to the housewife and her daughter, or the father of the family and his son, etc. The most ancient, pagan carol songs are connected with the theme of the magical growth of nature and living things, the later ones also absorbed religious themes:
Christmas, Christmas!
And there is Christmas
Christmas Eve,
Christmas has come
Christmas brought!
