A 17th Century Christmas Tradition: A Boy with a Christmas Tree by Ethel Parkinson This enchanting image, captured by the skilled brushstrokes of Ethel Parkinson, depicts a young boy in 17th century attire, carrying a small, potted Christmas tree. The scene is set against a backdrop of a snowy winter landscape, with the boy's rosy cheeks and bundled-up clothing adding to the wintery charm. The use of a Christmas tree as a decoration during the 17th century was not a common practice, especially among the Puritan community. The Puritans, known for their strict adherence to religious traditions, frowned upon the celebration of Christmas due to its pagan origins. This could explain the boy's furtive expression, suggesting that he might be in trouble when he arrives home. Despite the potential consequences, the boy's joy and excitement are evident as he carefully carries the tree, its branches adorned with fragile ornaments and twinkling candles. The tree, a symbol of life and renewal, adds a touch of warmth and cheer to the otherwise bleak winter landscape. Ethel Parkinson masterfully captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a moment of simple joy and wonder. This image invites us to reflect on the history of Christmas traditions and the enduring spirit of the holiday season.
