The First Christmas Tree

Description

A folk story of how the first tree was gotten. The tale is about Winfried with his young friend walking bravely into the pagan right of the coming of the wintry season. He evangelizes the word of Jesus Christ and His birth on that evening; then from up above was a wonder that is brought about by the deliverance of many people. In order to commemorate, they take along the existence of Jesus or the Christmas tree into their houses.

On Christmas Eve, in the year of God, wide snow-fields sparkling white in the panels of the river Moselle; sallow hill edges blossoming with magical flowers where the radiance of the resting sun still left on them and a bow is plain to see.

The First Christmas Tree includes these contents: The Call of the Woodsman; The Trail Through the Forest; The Shadow of the Thunder Oak; and The Felling of the Tree.

Henry Jackson van Dyke, Jr. was a U. S. writer, professor, and priest. Henry Jackson van Dyke, Jr. was born on November 10, 1852, in Germantown, Pennsylvania.

Way back when he was young, Henry van Dyke completed his prep studies from Poly Prep Country Day School, Princeton University and from Princeton Theological Seminary.
