Lesson 5. Christmas star.
The story of the star-like "beautiful poinsettias" is this: the daughter of a poor peasant wanted to give something to the newborn Jesus and brought a bouquet of modest wild flowers, which miraculously turned into red Florade Noche Bueno - flowers of the Holy Night!
Lesson 6. Festive wreath.
Do you decorate the door with a Christmas wreath? It can also be painted! After all, the main thing is what it symbolizes: a wonderful reminder of the eternity of the soul, the infinity of time and the life of nature.
Lesson 7. Dresden Stollen.
According to the established tradition, stollen is baked about a month before serving, so that it is properly infused and saturated with the filling. And thanks to a special recipe, it can be stored from 3 months to six months!
