Ginkgo tree ornaments with a Kransekake theme- 4 1/2" size
Ginkgo is a tree of Chinese origin, planted ornamentally around the world. It is incredibly white and light weight and gives a larger option for a tree as well as an Asian look.
They each have a screw eye at the peak that allows it to be hung on a tree or can be freestanding. They are each based on the Norwegian idea of the Kransekake, the crown cake or more exactly, the bridal wreath cake. It’s usually a wedding cake, made of almond with rings of decreasing size stacked up to make a lovely tree. The “idea” behind the tree is that the rings mean forever and so does the evergreen shape, which in Northern Europe has always meant eternal life. Martin Luther took this image of the eternal tree and “spun it” to be our favorite Christmas accessory. I like that it has both the forever relationship and the Christmas symbolism. They each come with a card that explains their meaning.
