Holly and Mistletoe in Christmas Tradition
Holly grows in almost every country and its red berries are linked to the Passion of Christ. Mistletoe, on oak, was sacred to pagans for Thor. Pagan winter feasts featured greenery. Christians kept these customs, making holly a Christmas favorite while mistletoe remained historically connected to pagan rites.
