The Story Of The First Christmas Tree

This is a folk tale of how the first tree came into being. It tells of a hero Winfried with his young companion stepping boldly into the pagan right of the passing into winter. He preaches the gospel of Christ and His birth on that night; then from the heavens came a miracle that resulted in the salvation of the people. To celebrate, they brought new life or the Christmas tree into their homes.

Henry Van Dyke was a U.S. short-story writer, poet, and essayist popular in the early decades of the 20th century. Educated at Princeton, Van Dyke graduated from its theological seminary in 1877 and became a Presbyterian minister. His early works, “The Story of the Other Wise Man” and “The First Christmas Tree”, were first read aloud to his congregation in New York as sermons. These quickly brought him recognition.

A wonderful Christmas treasury for the entire family.
