Under the Christmas tree.

Why do we have a decorated Christmas Tree? 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. The first decorated tree was at Riga in Latvia, in 1510. In the early 16th century, Martin Luther is said to have decorated a small Christmas Tree with candles, to show his children how the stars twinkled through the dark night.

A Remmembrance Cross in Island Stroma, Caithness, Scotland, U.K

Memorial cross in Island Stroma, Caithness, Scotland, U.K Stroma was once a populous island in the Pentland Firth, finally deserted in 1962 now it's only inhabitants are a herd of sheep and various other wildlife. The people of Stroma were very close-knit and noted on several occasions for their striking manner and self-sufficiency. "From their political situation, and the simplicity, sobriety and industry, natural to them, there are perhaps few islanders on earth happier than those of Stroma." Most people lived in single-storey houses which had two main rooms, called the 'but' and 'ben'. In these houses, there was usually a small bedroom (called the 'closet') and a porch also. The 'but' was the living room where all everyday family life took place; the 'ben' however was only used on special occasions, like when visitors came. Each room had box-beds, these were often closed in by folding doors or curtains. Wooden boards were covered with a layer of straw and a chaff filled mattress, both were renewed every year. The pillows were stuffed with the feathers of the croft chickens which were killed, plucked then eaten (little went to waste), blankets made of sheep's fleece were made at the mill; together this made a very cosy bed. The 'but' held a stove and oven, along with a larder and crockery dresser. The stove and oven were the main means of heating in the croft house, all.

This magnificent building, built over 17 years & x28 1885–1902& x29 at the end of the 19th century, has become the symbol of Hung

This magnificent building, built over 17 years & x28 1885–1902& x29 at the end of the 19th century, has become the symbol of Hungary and its capital by now. The period of its construction was characterised by a dynamic boom, almost unprecedented in Hungary& x27 s economy. This was the time when Heroes& x27 Square, Andrássy Avenue, Nyugati Railway Station and several bridges over the Danube were built and also when the continent’s first underground railway was opened. We could safely say that the largest domestic project of the period, however, was the construction of the House of Parliament, which in itself had a significant impact on the country’s economic development. The project was commissioned with the express intention to use Hungarian materials, involve Hungarian craftsmen and manufacturers, and use the flora of the Carpathian Basin as the inspiration for the decorative elements. Nothing was spared during the works, for example 40 kilograms of 22-23 carat gold were used for the building’s decorations. Chief architect and designer Imre Steindl, together with many artists and craftsmen of the era, created this unique work of art as a manifestation of the strength and self-belief of Hungarians.
