'First Christmas Tree' Summary
In this enchanting tale, Winfried, a courageous hero, and his young companion venture into a pagan village during the winter solstice. Winfried shares the gospel of Christ's birth, defying the old ways. As snow blankets the land, a miracle unfolds from the heavens, inspiring the villagers to embrace the message of salvation. To celebrate, they bring living trees into their homes, symbolizing the new life and hope brought by Christmas. The story beautifully weaves together the triumph of Christianity over paganism and the enduring power of tradition, reminding us of the light and joy that the Christmas season brings.Book Details
