The Christmas tree is not just a Christmas decoration, but rather a profound symbol of life and renewal, and connects us to our ancient roots in Pharaonic Egypt, as the history of Christmas trees dates back to the symbolic use of evergreen trees in ancient Egypt and the Greek and Roman empires.
In turn, Dr. Mahmoud Hamed Al-Hosary, a professor of archaeology and ancient Egyptian language at New Valley University, told "Al-Ahram Gate" that the tradition of candle-lit Christmas trees, which were first brought to America in the nineteenth century, continued.
Therefore, the conical shape of the Christmas tree (the pine tree) has become a symbol of eternal life and immortality, as evergreen trees in many civilizations were a symbol of fertility and renewal, and the lights that decorate the Christmas tree symbolize the light that overcomes darkness, and it is an important religious symbol in many cultures.
