Upside down christmas tree

I was just browsing through the net. Then this particular Christmas tree caught my eye. Yup it was upside down. Wanted to check the motive behind it. And apparently this is a symbol of Christianity in central Europe. When there is such thing as growing a Christmas tree in the conventional way, we just had to think differently and here comes an upside down Christmas tree…



Or is it other way round? may be this is the corrcet way to grow a CHRISTMAS TREE

Who knows we are just following a set of rules given by others




and ways this is the history as taken from www.thegreenhead.com

The History of the Upside-Down Fir Tree: According to the Christmas Archives, "In the 7th century a monk from Crediton, Devonshire, went to Germany to teach the Word of God. He did many good works there, and spent much time in Thuringia, an area which was to become the cradle of the Christmas Decoration Industry. Legend has it that he used the triangular shape of the Fir Tree to describe the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The converted people began to revere the Fir tree as God's Tree, as they had previously revered the Oak. By the 12th century it was being hung, upside-down, from ceilings at Christmastime in Central Europe, as a symbol of Christianity."
