A Christmas tree is pictured at Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A Christmas tree is pictured at Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, December 15, 2015. The humble Christmas tree has a rich history, from evergreen trees used to symbolise eternal life in Ancient Egypt to tree worship among pagan Europeans. The modern version has its origins in Germany, where the song " O Tannenbaum" is still a festive favourite. Today the traditional tree with lights and decorations appears in cities including Washington, Moscow and Beirut. Alternative constructions range from recycled rubbish in Mexico City to old window frames in Rakvere, Estonia. Whatever the shape or size, the message is the same: Merry Christmas.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a magnificent Christmas tree stands tall against the backdrop of Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The date is December 15th, 2015, and the festive spirit fills the air as people gather around to admire this symbol of joy and celebration. The humble Christmas tree has a fascinating history that dates back centuries. From its origins as evergreen trees used by Ancient Egyptians to symbolize eternal life, to pagan Europeans who worshipped trees, it has evolved into the modern version we know today. Germany played a significant role in shaping our current traditions with their beloved song "O Tannenbaum". Nowadays, cities all over the world embrace this timeless tradition. From Washington to Moscow and Beirut, traditional Christmas trees adorned with lights and decorations grace public spaces during the holiday season. However, some places take an innovative approach: Mexico City uses recycled rubbish for their unique constructions while Rakvere in Estonia repurposes old window frames. Regardless of its shape or size, every Christmas tree carries one universal message: Merry Christmas! As captured by photographer Sergio Moraes for Reuters Images' "Global Trees" collection (Picture 22 out of 28), this image serves as a reminder of the joyous festivities that unite us all during this special time of year.
