In German...
this means a tree decorated with eggs at Easter!
As a child in 1945, Volker Kaft
saw a beautiful paschal decorated tree
(Eierbaum, Osterbaum or Ostereirbaum, in German)
in his home town.
He decided he would have one of his very own, when he grew up!
Volker's childhood dream stuck with him
and
he decorated his first Easter Tree, in 1965.
He used 18 colored plastic eggs.
The Easter Tree became a family tradition,
known not only in their home town of Saalfeld, but all of Germany.
Head over to the Office Site of the Volker Easter Tree
for more info on this incredible tradition.
** Happy Easter! **
the tree is so spectacular I feel I must do one of my own!
ReplyDeleteWish I had a tree so I could decorate it like this! This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, doesn't it? A lot of people here in my little town have decorated trees, too, but not with so many eggs! Happy Easter, Valerie
