Ying Wa Explorers Series: Exploring the Legend of the Christmas Spider!

12/19/2017

Presented by Mrs Abanty Paul

Foreword:
 
Exploring can be of different kinds and nature. For me, it is all about exploring the world of stories, legends and folktales that have been inspiring, motivating and intriguing us for years. With Christmas just round the corner, I started exploring the net for various Christmas stories and traditions associated with the celebration of one of the most popular and joyous festivals of the world.

And, needless to say, I came across quite a few interesting tales and stories-some facts, some myths and fictions associated with Christmas. Each one of them was unique in its own nature.

Amongst these, I was attracted to some strange customs and traditions followed by certain countries and the stories/tales related to them.
​
Today, I’m going to share one such story with you and the tradition that came into being from it. This is the “Legend of the Christmas Spider”. Of course, there are a couple of variations to this popular Eastern European folktale and today I’m going to tell you the folktale that comes from Germany. I hope you like it.

Picture
Legend of the Christmas Spider

A long time ago in Germany, a mother was cleaning for Christmas. Spiders fled up to the attic to escape the broom. On quiet Christmas Eve, the spiders slowly came down for a peek. “Oh, what a beautiful tree!”

In excitement, they scurried up and out along each branch. They were filled with happiness as they climbed amongst the glittering beauty. But alas! By the time they were done, the tree was shrouded in their dusty grey web.

When Santa came with gifts for the children and saw the tree covered with spider webs, he smiled because he saw how happy the spiders were, but knew how heartbroken the mother would be if she saw it covered in dusty webs. So he turned the webs to strands of silver and the tree was even more beautiful than before.

​That’s the story of tinsel on trees and why every tree should have a Christmas Spider in it’s branches.

Picture
Afterword:
 
Many of us often decorate Christmas trees with tinsels without knowing where, when and why this particular tradition originated. Well, it seems that this legend is also behind the use of tinsels to decorate our Christmas trees, although not everyone puts a spider as a Christmas decoration on their trees.
​
To conclude, I can say that if there is hope and faith in your heart, miracles often happen. This is exactly what this beautiful story is all about.

I agree with you ,Enoch. Science proof that Santa isn't real, but someone maybe draw the GRAY cobweb to a SILVER web; or maybe Santa was mistaken when he imagine he was using magic.But if Santa isn't real, you can't really said that he did or didn't have magic...:(

I like the story very much but I don't think I like the idea of hanging spiders on top of the Christmas tree.

That's a beautiful tree with silver strands. I like the story but I do not believe this is a real one.

I think this is a very interesting story.I don't expect the spider will have a good end when I didn't read all of the passage yet,I thought the spider will killed by the mom.So I am interested by this story.

Thank you Mrs Paul for sharing such a nice fairy tale.This tale is very interesting!When I was small and saw spiders on the Christmas trees,I was really afraid and told my parents not to put the spider on it.Now I know such a beautiful story,I will always tell my mum to put them on.Think you for having a nice story!

Thank you Mrs Paul for sharing this interesting legend with us. I thought there will be decorations of spiders only in Halloween and I did not think that it is really a kind of Christmas decoration when l was small. In Christmas of last few years, I saw some Christmas trees in the shopping malls or shops with those decorations and I was confused by those trees. Now, I finally realized that it is really a kind of Christmas decoration after reading this passage.

WOW, I want to catch a spider that spins silver web too! interesting legend, and it proves that silver can be infinitely produced. I think Santa should try something next instead of silver. Maybe turn the spider thread/webs into Bitcoin!!!

If there was really a spider Christmas tree... It would be literally made out of spiders.Spider legs as branches, eyes as bells and a whole spider head for the Christmas star, not to mention the whole tree is bleeding poisonous blood to the floor continuously, flooding the area with a flow of toxic.Think of that as an Halloween decoration instead.
Also, I want to be covered in silver spider webs and become an full metal alchemist!(See Full Metal Alchemist the anime in google or youtube.)
