On Christmas Eve he was returning home along a forest path and fixed his eyes on the night sky. Luther admired the beauty of the stars so much that it seemed to him as if stars were sparkling on the top of fir-trees. Thus he put a small fir-tree on the table and decorated it with candles and put a star on the top in memory of the star of Bethlehem that pointed the way to the cave where Jesus was born.
