Polies are conservative people in terms of belief and spiritual, during all their religious ceremonies, all the churches are packed. They are coming to the Masses event with children in their hands. Most interestingly, in mid-January, decorated Christmas trees are still in the churches in Warsaw, even few of them. Generally, the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree is associated with the tree of Eden decorated with apples. The tree of life in Eden was the source of life. The Christmas tree decorated in this Catholic church in the center of Warsaw is perceived as the presence of the tree of life in our days. The Christmas tree decorated in the Armenian churches definitely would not be perceived unequivocally. Please, also read about the impressions of Poland here.
