According to:
http://www.inglewoodcarecentre.com/history/christmastree.htm
" Back in the 7th century a monk from Crediton, Devonshire, traveled
to Germany to spread the Word of God. Legend has it that he used the
triangular shape of the Fir Tree to describe the Holy Trinity of God
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to the German people. The
German people started to revere the Fir Tree as "God's Tree". In the
next 5 centuries, the tree became a symbol of Christianity, and was
being hung upside-down from the ceiling as a sign of Christianity."
Who woulda known?
