The Christmas tree was adopted in upper-class homes in 18th-century Germany, where it was occasionally decorated with candles, which at the time was a comparatively expensive light source.

18世纪, 圣诞树开始在德国的上流社会家庭中盛行，他们用蜡烛，当时比较贵的光源来装饰圣诞树。

Christmas lights are lights often used for decoration in celebration of Christmas. The custom goes back to when Christmas trees were decorated with candles, which symbolized Christ being the light of the world.

点灯仪式是迎接圣诞来临不可或缺的神圣仪式。相传16世纪德国传教士马丁·路德把烛放在树林中的枞树枝上点燃使它看起来像是引导人们到伯利恒的星光，如同二千年前的东方三博士依照天上的星星找到耶稣一般。

On December 5th, 2020, a Christmas lighting ceremony was held by Wyndham Hotel to welcome the arrival of the Christmas season.

2020年12月5日，鑫江温德姆酒店为了迎接圣诞季的来临，举行了圣诞点灯仪式。

At the event, in addition to the impressive Christmas lighting period, there was a heartwarming Christmas charity bazaar, students from Changjiang School International Center also participated and helped the Tibetan children with Waves Charity to let them feel the warmth from Christmas festival.

在活动现场，除了震撼人心的圣诞点灯环节，更有温暖人心的圣诞义卖集市，长江学校国际部的学生们参与到了其中，化身「圣诞老人」，与waves charity一起帮助藏区贫困儿童，让他们也能感受到这一份来自圣诞节日的温暖。

The moment when the students knew that they would participate in the Christmas bazaar, they made intensive preparations. 

当学生们得知要参加圣诞集市义卖，便进行了一番紧锣密鼓的筹备。

(制作义卖商品)

Searching style, purchasing materials, making by hand, setting prices, making posters... The project was progressing smoothly step by step.

样式搜索、购买原材料、动手制作、制定价格、制作海报……一个个步骤有序的进行。

The exquisite selected Christmas-themed products included Christmas fridge magnet, Christmas brooches, decorations, and even different exquisite paintings. All were made by the students themselves, full of warmth and enthusiasm.

Under the careful production of the students, the bazaar was very popular, and the students participating also actively introduced the meaning of each work to people.
