Vatican Christmas Tree To Be Recycled Into Toys
To keep in spirit with the green theme that the Vatican is wanting to display to the world, they have announced that the red spruce tree they will light up for the upcoming Christmas holiday celebrations will be recycled into toys for needy children.
In a further sign of the Vatican’s “Green” policies, wood from the Christmas tree inaugurated on St Peter’s Square at the weekend is to be recycled to make “toys for needy children” and school benches, Vatican officials said.
The tree, a red spruce from Piesting Valley in Austria, is the tallest to be erected on the square since the late Pope John Paul II began the tradition of setting up a Vatican Christmas tree in 1982.
We hope many kids receive toys this year from that glorious Christmas tree.
