The 1st Christmas Trees was Recorded in the Bible . In the Old Testament book of Jeremiah . Jeremiah was a prophet for over 40 years, Jeremiah was known as a prophet from the thirteenth year of Josiah, king of Judah (626 BC), until after the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of Solomon’s Temple in 587 BC. This period spanned the reigns of five kings of Judah: Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah.
During +- 600 BC that stands for Before Christ (Yes Christmas trees were there before Jesus was Born) , Jewish Families watched the Rituals of the Rich Heathen Family . for the Customs of these Rich Heathen families was . They would Employ a Wood Cutter workman to Cut a Young Tree with his axe from the Forest . He would Make it stand by itself and not fall over and move . Then they placed it in a prominent place in a Room with an outside view for People to see their Riches in their houses and Decorated it with The Gold and Silver they gained during their Rich Years.
The Jewish Nation saw this and asked the Prophet Jeremaih to speak to God about this Rituals for they were scared and unsure about this Rich Heathen Rituals , Jeremaih Prayed to God for a Answer and God spoke to Jeremaih and this was recorded in the Bible in the 10th Chapter of Jeremaih , This being the 1st ever Record of a Christmas Tree ever.
Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must need to be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Jerermiah 10:1 – 5
