Country's Christmas Tree Lit with Ornamental Lights

A silver fir tree, about 18 meters tall, had its ornamental lights switched on at Kossuth Square in front of the Parliament on the first Sunday of advent.

The pine tree is adorned with a 130-centimeter-high, 103-centimeter-wide, 36-centimeter-deep, three-dimensional-effect, 25-kilogram, eight-pointed star-shaped top ornament, lit by warm white light and energy-saving LED lights.

The country's Christmas tree decorates Kossuth Square from until January 6, and after its dismantling the wood will be donated to the needy by the Parliament's Office as firewood, according to a statement by the Parliament press office.
