Oak Tree
The Christmas tree is a beloved symbol iinstantly conjure up images of gifts and family joy. There are many beautiful connections traditions. Egyptians and Romans customs, early Christian practices and Victorian nostalgia are combined in our modern Christmas tree.
Greek FIR is commonly used as Christmas tree. The ancient Greeks called "the tree Pitis" and, with the pin, which was sacred to Pan Legend is that Pan was once in love with a nymph named Pity, as was the god of the north wind. Mercy chose Pan and god of wind, insulted and humiliated, it blew over a cliff to his death. Pan found her lifeless body and made her sacred tree. Since then, whenever the wind blows from the north in May and Pity tears tears are the drops of resin that escapes pine apples every fall.
Since ancient times, evergreens were revered as a representation of the sexual power and fertility, and has played an important role in the celebration of winter. Perhaps the tree Christmas is a smoothed version of the Norse Yggdrasil, the Great Tree of Life. In northern Europe the Evergreen recalled that the long dark nights winter will end and the green of spring would return. For Saturnalia the Romans decorated trees with their suns, candles and small pieces of metal and today still carry the trees in our homes and decorate them.
At the winter solstice, Egyptians brought green palm trees in their homes to symbolize life triumphs over death. Live trees in large tubs were brought into homes during the festive German Renaissance Christmas. Prince Albert husband and consort of Queen Victoria, has made the German tradition of decorating a fir tree with candles, candy, fruit and ginger bread. Although generally adverse to anything German-English taught in public, a great affection for their queen and soon adopted the custom for them.
Some say that the Christmas tree has evolved from Paradise Plays. Since the eleventh century, these popular religious works were carried out in churches. It tells the story of the creation of Adam and Eve, sin, and their expulsion from Paradise. The only support on stage, it was Tree Paradise, a fir tree decorated with apples. In this tree, at the appropriate time in the play, Eve would take the fruit, eat, and gives to Adam.
A legend of St. Boniface who encountered some German pagans about to sacrifice a child at the base of an oak. He cut the oak prevent the massacre and a fir tree grew in its place. Saint Boniface told the pagans was the Tree of Life and represents Christ.
Another legend was delicious time of the Holy Family was pursued by the soldiers of Herod, when many plants offered them shelter. A plant Such was the pine. With Mary, too tired to travel further, the family stopped at the edge of a forest to rest and a low old knotty pine grown over the years, invited them to rest in his trunk. Then the branches closed to keep the family safe until the soldiers had passed. On leaving, the Christ Child blessed the pine and the imprint of her hand was never in fruit tree … pinecone. If a cone is cut lengthwise, the hand can still be seen.
Martin Luther also in the legends of Christmas trees. One night, the founder of Protestant religion, walking in the woods. Stars The sky was clear and many of them shining through the trees, giving the impression of twinkling lights. Luther was so captivated and inspired by the beautiful glow of light that Evergreen cut a small house made. He reconstituted the stars by placing candles on the tree branches to imitate his splendor and presented it to their children.
Whatever the legend you like, be sure to make history when they gather around your own Christmas tree.

What type of oak grows with two different shaped leaves on this?
I was on tour in Southern Ontario when an oak tree that had two very different-shaped leaves grow. I have never seen this before and have not been able to find if all the information on Google. She wondered if anyone else has seen this and if you know what makes it happen?
As a proposal, the bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa). The leaves of white oak may vary, as in the background (shadow) branches http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/imgs/128×192/0000_0000/0306/1578.jpeg / White oak and post oak, almost black, like http:// forestis.rsvs.ulaval.ca / Lab 20Magnoliopsides% 202001%%% 20HTML 20X/image/quercus_macrocarpa_c01.jpg on branches in full sun. All links to the photos are of oak leaves from real strawberries. It is also native to this region. What really sets it apart from other oak acorns are large segments of hats "But http://botany.cs.tamu.edu/FLORA/dcs420/d/hdw020100209s.jpg is also possible that what we have seen is a hybrid between two different species of oaks. A former colleague is a cross between an oak shingles 20pages/oak_shingle/leaf.jpg http://www.oplin.lib.oh.us/tree/fact% http://www.dof.virginia.gov/trees/images/oak-scarlet-leaf.jpg and a red oak that grows in your garden. The leaves vary across the margin of an oak "pure" Tile deeply lobed "pure" scarlet with intermediaries elsewhere. Some even have leaves on one side of the blade edge smooth and the other lobe. These hybrids are still the "wild" in the mountains near his home. This leads to a very strange tree, which can be difficult to identify individuals, not from this area.
