Every year on December 24, the Day of Adam and Eve, Germans arrange a fir tree (tree of the Garden of Eden) in their homes and hang the pancakes on it to symbolize the holy bread (a sign of Christian atonement). In modern times, various cookies have been used instead of holy bread, and candles symbolizing Christ are often added.
