The first Christmas tree began in Geismar, Germany in 722, when St. Boniface cut down a sacred tree of Thor in where later a fir tree grew up at the base of that oak tree. The tree grew with its branches pointing to heaven. It was then considered as a holy tree and has been said to be the first Christmas tree. Tannenbaum is a German word for “fir tree” which also means “Christmas Tree”.
