A wonderful custom appeared among our ancestors: they began to decorate the Christmas tree about two thousand years ago, and the people of that time firmly believed that spirits lived in every spruce or pine tree, influencing the future of people, establishing, gathering in next year grain harvest or not, what will grow from vegetables: each person expects only the best from the coming year. Every year, but in mid-December, our ancestors went into a dense forest to appease the spirits there along with a fire. Everyone was looking for a tall and fluffy spruce and on its branches they sent gifts for the spirits, which were baked from dough and carved out of wood.
Time passed: while traveling around European countries, Peter 1 fell in love with the Protestant custom of decorating Christmas trees in the house, so upon returning to Russia he issued a decree: from January 1, 1700, all boyars and nobles were obliged to celebrate the New Year and decorate Christmas trees.
In the 17th century, there was also an interesting custom that was supported by the Russian Tsar: at Christmas they attached a tree to the ceiling with its trunk and waited for the holy spirit to descend into the house along it, bringing the good news that the son of God was born. The tree played the role of a staircase along which the dead supposedly climbed to heaven on Christmas Day, so gingerbread and apples were placed on the branches so that the deceased would take them with him on the road.
Then they began to weave toys and so that the deceased would give these souvenirs to the angels, and they would escort him to the gates of heaven. And now such toys are hung on the Christmas tree, but their purpose is different - to decorate the New Year's interior.
