What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Search all quotes about Christmas and the Christmas tree."
Answer
In the provided documents, there is a direct quote that addresses both Christmas and the Christmas tree together: Ellen G. White advocates for a Christmas tree in the church in "The Adventist Home", provided that gifts for God's house hang on it and the motive is unselfish. Other texts mention Christmas in isolation, but do not address the Christmas tree in the same context and therefore do not meet the relevance criterion.
The Christmas tree at Christmas in the church
»Shall we have a Christmas tree?" – God would be well pleased if every church had a Christmas tree at Christmas, with gifts, large and small, for these houses of God hanging on it. … It is no special sin to select a fragrant evergreen tree and set it up in our churches, but the sin lies in the motive that prompts the action, and in the use made of the gifts placed on the tree. Let the tree be as large and its branches as wide as best suits the occasion; but let its branches be laden with the golden and silver fruit of your beneficence, and present this as your Christmas gift to Him.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
