It's time for a special episode about the Christmas tree, the well-known tradition of decorating a Christmas tree. Christmas, because that's what we're talking about - may seem obvious to us, but in this video I'll tell you about something that you may not fully know. Or you don't think about it in the rush of the upcoming Christmas.
The Christmas tree, a symbolic tree, has been present in the history of humanity in various traditions, legends and great religions around the world since time immemorial.
At the beginning, I will present its history from the Bible itself, through the times of the Egyptians, Rome, the Vikings, and finally to our ancestors - the Slavs. For them, trees were also particularly important, which has survived in residual traditions even to this day in Polish villages. I will also tell you what podłażniki, diduchy, i.e. snobs well known in the Podhale region, and mistletoe were.
We will also learn how the tradition rooted in Germany came to Poland, where the Christmas tree was not such an obvious Christmas decoration. And the way it was presented was also completely different. I will also describe how symbolic this tree is and how it was interpreted.
And at the end, there's a real surprise waiting for you - an interview with a person who remembers those very old times.
