The Star:
The star symbolizes the star that appeared, quite miraculously, in the eastern sky on the birth of Jesus Christ. The star is believed to have guided shepherds and the magi, who were the three wise men from the East, to the newborn king.
One wonders whether the star that shined that night was any different from those of today.
The star was indeed a strange star and people continue to believe that a miracle occurred at the birth of Christ.
The Christmas star continues to adorn the churches and houses as part of the traditional Christmas celebrations. The star stands for high hopes and ideals, a hope for a good fortune and to reach above oneself. Select this link to view our unique angel gifts.
The Christmas Rose:
Christmas Rose is an English plant that is regarded as a true Christmas flower. It is sometimes called the Snow or Winter Rose. It blooms in the depths of winter in the mountains of Central Europe. Legend links it with the birth of Christ and a modest shepherd maiden named Madelon. As Madelon tended her sheep one cold and wintry night, wise men and other shepherds passed by the snow-covered field, where she was, with their gifts for the Christ Child. The wise men carried the rich gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense and the shepherds, fruits, honey and doves. Poor Madelon began to weep at the thought of having nothing to offer, not even a simple flower for the Newborn King, as she was very poor indeed. And as she stood there weeping, an angel saw her sorrow, and brushed aside the snow at her feet to reveal a most beautiful white flower tipped with pink, the Christmas rose.

Apples:
Apples were a magical fruit to the ancients. Its juices fermented into a liquor, its fruit outlived other fruits, thus tha apple gave food and cheer at a time when, in the depths of winter, man had neither. The apple also represented man’s fall from Paradise, as the forbidden fruit of Eden. Select this link to view our fiber optic angel tree topper.

Bells:
The first bells came from China, but all ancient religions and societies used them for their ceremonies. Bells evolved from rattles into the sweet toned silver bells we have today, though the church did not use bells until the 6th century. The bells used by Santa’s helpers for charity came from the middle ages when the poor rang hand bells for alms. Select this link to view our Christmas tree angels toppers.
Boars Head:
In the mid 18th century they were served on a silver tray with an apple in its mouth. Originally a Scandinavian Yule tradition the wild boar was sacrificed to Thea the goddess of love and fertility.
