church calendar, plays about the couple's fall from grace were 
performed to highlight Christ's birth as the coming of the 'second 
Adam' to redeem the failure of the original. A main set in the 
play, the paradise tree, a fir tree, became popular in homes 
especially after the plays were banned.>>>>
 
I like that story of the tradition of the Christmas tree !
