聖誕樹的由來    History of Christmas trees

It is said there was a farmer who helped a poor boy on a cold, windy Christmas Eve and gave him a big Christmas meal. The boy cut the branch of a fir tree and put it into the ground.

He said, “Every year, at this time of year, there will be many presents in this beautiful village to repay your kindness.” After the boy left, the farmer discovered that the branch had grown up intoa tree. Then he realized that the boy was a messenger from God. This is the origin of the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree originated in Germany. You will usually find a star on top of each Christmas tree, because it symbolizes the star which led the Three Wise Men to visit Jesus after his birth.

據說有一位農民在一個風雪交加的聖誕夜裡接待了一個可憐的小男孩，讓他吃了一頓豐盛的聖誕晚餐，這位男孩告別時折了一根杉樹枝插在地上。

他說：「每一年 ，在這個時候，將會有很多的禮物留在這美麗的山村用來報答你的好意。」小孩走後，農民發現那樹枝竟變成了一棵樹，他才明白自己接待的原來是一位上帝的使者。這就是聖誕樹的由來。聖誕樹最先是出現在德國；每棵聖誕樹的頂端，必定有一棵特大的星星，象徵著那顆「引導東方三博士找到耶穌」的星星。
