It’s astrological
Re: Niu take on Christmas tree
“Honoring the winter solstice?”
Yes indeed, 21st of December, in the house of “Capricorn” the longest night of the year; hence the lowest point in which the sun’s (crossing over) “crucifixion” death for 3 days; it does not move until the 25th, before ascending or climbing back up again in its journey up north and the start of “lent” lengthening of days.
Where the sun get baptized by the next house; the water bearer in the house of “Aquarius.”
The story is symbolic and Astrological, not literal. Wake Up!
