Christmas Lights

     The custom of placing Lights on an evergreen tree can be traced back many centuries.  They represent the glory and beauty of the stars that twinkled in the sky of Bethlehem on the night Christ was born.  In many countries candles symbolize the same idea. For example, In Ireland a candle is left burning in a window on Christmas Eve to light the way for the Christ child.  In the United States, many churches hold a candlelight mass on Christmas Eve.  In other countries, lanterns or candles are carried in celebration ceremonies.
