Description
A group of hearty souls, on a much needed outing after hours of meetings. Restored, we had a hearty meal and a much needed game night to ease our burdens to be rightly stewarded. Such needed work, to work together in agreement, as this trio of trees seems to radiate, not necessarily agreeing, but working in a creative open-hearted manner to agree to right handling of community properties. This is what this photograph holds in memory of a very purposeful and sacred time, now covered in festive decorations.
Modern Christmas trees have been related to the "tree of paradise" of medieval mystery plays that were given on 24 December, the commemoration and name day of Adam and Eve in various countries. In such plays, a tree decorated with apples (to represent the forbidden fruit) and wafers (to represent the Eucharist and redemption) was used as a setting for the play. Like the Christmas crib, the Paradise tree was later placed in homes. The apples were replaced by round objects such as shiny red balls
