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. И позже, в XIX веке, ее позаимствовала себе Франция, впоследствии переняла Англия, она стояла даже в Виндзорском Дворце, а впоследствии и переехавшие в Америку немцы-переселенцы принесли и елку. Первоначально, когда появилась елка, ее украшали фруктами, яблоками, например, которые символизируют тот же Первородный Грех Адама и Евы.

When a Christmas tree appeared in homes A long time ago, many peoples of the world worshiped trees. Especially among the southern Slavs, Christmas was necessarily accompanied by a "podniak" - a log, in which the owner solemnly, with all the sacrifices - asked for forgiveness for having to cut down this tree, sprinkled this stump with grain, smeared it with dough, and then brought it to the house, where he was ceremoniously burned. These moments probably initiated the later use of the Christmas tree. So, gradually we come to today's ritual - the use of a Christmas tree.
