With the shadow of Covid still haunting the planet and the global energy crisis caused by the Ukrainian war stifling some traditional sparks of Christmas traditions, cities around the world have managed to turn the festive spotlight on the special celebration — not least by shining it on one of the holiday’s most revered symbols.
Christmas trees are among the traditions that withstand viruses and other threats. Year after year, villages, towns and cities — including some in war-ravaged Ukraine — go the distance to showcase immense, luminous, creative trees as a way to spread the good spirit of the holiday.
