Slovenian Christmas decorations
One of the things that have marked the Slovenian Presidency are the handmade Slovenian ethnographic ornaments that adorned several Christmas trees – from the Vatican to Brussels and Strasbourg.
It all started last year when Slovenia erected a Slovenian Christmas tree in St Peter's Square in the Vatican.
Slovenia sent a Christmas tree from the Kočevje forests, provided the ornaments and decorated 42 smaller spruces and firs from 1.5 to 6 metres tall. The smaller trees were placed in the official premises, while the large one that was erected in St Peter’s Square was 30 metres tall.
