In Switzerland, some churches still keep a centuries-old Christmas tradition alive by lighting real candles on their holiday trees. Instead of electric lights, actual flames flicker on the branches, giving the whole space a warm, old-world glow that feels straight out of history. It’s a practice rooted in culture and ceremony, carefully maintained so the ritual stays safe while preserving a tradition that began long before modern decorations existed.
