“O Christmas Tree” is a popular Christmas carol with German origins. The original German title is “O Tannenbaum,” which translates directly to “O Fir Tree.” The carol’s lyrics express admiration for the evergreen fir tree, symbolizing eternal life and the enduring nature of faith.
The melody is thought to have originated in the 16th century, but the exact composer is unknown. The lyrics were added later, with various versions appearing throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. The carol gained widespread popularity in Germany and was eventually translated into many other languages, including English.
