The city of Strasbourg, France, also known as the “Capital of Christmas,” is celebrating its own holiday traditions by collaborating with the longest running holiday tree display in New York City. It is providing dark blue handmade ornaments made of blown glass and ringed with gold lines that were fashioned by the craftsmen of Bethlehem for Strasbourg’s own tree in 1999. They are true works of art and strong symbols of peace.
As part of the overall holiday festivities in Madison Square Park, Deputy Mayor and President of the Greater Strasbourg Tourist Office Jean-Jacques Gsell and Director Patrice Geny will be in New York next Tuesday, December 9th to represent Strasbourg at the tree lighting ceremony.
If you cannot make it to the lighting ceremony itself, the tree and the stunning Strasbourg ornaments will be on display until December 23.
