very respectful. So they made it so we couldn’t have those plays anymore.”
Clara stopped and thought for a moment. “Well, I have explained green and I guess these plays are a good way to explain why we use red.”
“First, remember how I told about the apples from the Paradise Plays? They were red. They were used to represent the fall of Adam. When the Church stopped the plays people brought trees into their homes and now we use apples in our celebrations at home.”
“Holly is also red and is used to represent Christ’s drops of blood. The Romans used holly to make wreathes to represent the crown of thorns that Christ wore. Druids, the men and women that worship the earth, used holly in the winter to show that during winter when all the trees lose their leaves there is still beauty on earth. They also wore holly in their hair when they went to watch the Pagan priests cut the mistletoe.”
About one hundred to two hundred years after Maria and Clara’s time, German and English people coming to America, brought the Christmas tree tradition with them. Now, four hundred years after Maria and Clara’s time things have changed a lot. Today we still use evergreens at Christmas time, but sometimes now we even use artificial trees.
We use red and green with the tree, decorations, wrapping paper, bows and ribbons. Red and green is used everywhere!
