Why stars and angels are used as Christmas tree toppers
The use of stars and angels as Christmas tree toppers explained.
Decorating a Christmas tree with colourful ornaments is a fun family activity.
Probably the most important part is the Christmas topper which is usually the last item placed on the tree.
The most popular and most commonly used toppers are either a star or an angel.
Other toppers are also used such as Father Christmas, a cross, ribbons and other items.
Why is a star put on top of the Christmas tree?
n Christian tradition, the Star of Bethlehem revealed the birth of Jesus to the three wise men who each brought a gift.
In this regard, Christians see the star as a sign to mark the birth of Christ.
Why is an angel used as a topper on a Christmas tree?
An angel is used on the tree as they are seen as guardian spirits who are said to look over, protect and guide humans.
Angels are put as a topper as, in some folklore in olden days, it is believed that the angel is watching over the inhabitants of the house and protecting them from harm.
