A Word from Cardinal Dolan: The Christmas Tree
| 12/26/2023
By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan
Cardinal Dolan discusses the symbolism of the Christmas tree. He reminds us not to take it down because we celebrate Christmas for 12 days, until the Epiphany.
He talks about how the tree represents the tree in the Garden of Eden and the tree of Calvary. Finally, the evergreen of the Christmas tree reminds us of spring. It’s a symbol for how the life of spring always conquers the death of winter.
The report underscores that roughly one in 12 Christians in the United States—and one in five Catholics specifically—either face the risk of deportation or live in a household with someone who does.
