Thank you to the donor of this vintage Christmas tree angel.
A customer arrived during our boxing day sale on December 26th and was so delighted with the angel that they donated $100 to our cause. We’re so happy that this angel has found a tree to grace.
DID YOU KNOW?
Both stars and angels on Christmas trees symbolize heavenly messengers announcing the birth of Jesus. The star represents the Star of Bethlehem that guided the 3 wise men. An angel symbolizes the announcements to the shepherds. The widespread adoption of the Christmas tree in England and America stems directly from a popular 1848 Victorian engraving of the royal family’s celebrations. This was published in the Illustrated London News.
