The most well known of all the Christmas traditions - decorating the Christmas tree - is said to have its origins in Riga, Latvia, 500 years ago in 1510. A tree was placed in the public marketplace and decorated by the men of the Order of the Blackhead, which is a long time merchant's guild. Legend has it that the tree was decorated with paper flowers honoring the Virgin Mary.
