Adding An Easter Tree To Your Decor

Adding an Easter Tree to your decor for the holiday is a special sentiment. Did you know the Easter Tree symbolizes spring, renewal, and the promise of new life. To add an Easter Tree to the holiday decor is a practice that is centuries old. The tradition actually began in Germany and this tradition is still carried out to this day.

The Tradition to decorate trees with Easter eggs is known as Ostereierbaum. This is a centuries old tradition that started in Germany. It was thought by having an Easter Tree a person would follow the example of Jesus and could count the days through the lenten season. This also introduced children to the stories of the gospel and the anticipation of his resurrection.

Here is a little history on the Easter Tree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_tree

I have to be honest when I purchase my Easter Tree over 25 years ago I didn’t know about this tradition. I thought adding the Easter Tree would make a beautiful statement to my holiday decor.

Ways To Add An Easter Tree To Your Decor

If you don’t have an Easter Tree there are ways to add an Easter tree to your decor. I have seen people make an Easter Tree from a branch they found in their yard. Although many home decorating stores sell Easter Trees, but you could make your own tree.

Adding Faux Easter eggs to the Easter Tree adds to the beautiful Easter decor. However you could decorate your tree with other Easter items. Also making your own Easter Eggs for the tree would be very special.
