Pine tree meaning and 3D cut Popup Cards for Christmas

Is it strange that you feel obligated to bring a tree into your house every year only to remove it one month later? Why in the world do you feel the need to bring a pine tree into your home on Christmas?

The history of Christmas trees goes back to the symbolic use of evergreens in ancient Egypt and Rome and continues with the German tradition of candlelit Christmas trees first brought to America in the 1800s.

Pine Tree's Symbol and meaning

Pine trees have played a role in many different cultures over time. For Native American cultures, the pine tree represented wisdom and longevity. Pine trees are some of the longest-lived trees, and with their cold-resistant “leaves”, they seem wiser than trees that lose their leaves each fall.

In Native American culture, the pine tree’s presence all around the landscape can symbolize many different things depending on the tribes. The trees are also used in a range of ceremonial processes.

In many other cultures, pine trees symbolize fertility and life, because these trees live during the cold winter months. Another characteristic thought to be embodied by the pine tree is fertility, some cultures associate the pine tree with love and hope.

The pine tree has a slightly less rowdy interpretation in Asia. Koreans view the pine tree as honorable and strong, and some Koreans use pine branches as congratulatory offerings for new babies. Likewise, Chinese interpretations of the pine tree represent longevity and solitude.

In Christianity, the Christmas tree is symbolic of the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The tree’s branches and shrubs are viewed as an emblem of immortality and are said to symbolize the crown of thorns worn by Christ on the cross. Also, every decoration used to adorn the Christmas tree is believed to have a special significance. Though, people choose the ornaments for decorating as per their choice.

Commonly, people use a shining star as a Christmas tree topper. No one knows for certain why we decorate pine trees on Christmas. Based on historical evidence, it is too difficult to tell who started the tradition. However, many of the Christmas tree traditions honor Jesus, and therefore it can encourage us to continue such traditions to honor Christ.
