It is known that the Christmas tree frame is made of steel, cut, bent, and welded by the parish youth themselves, consisting of 14 floors. On these floors are hung upside-down white conical hats, inside the top of each hat is a light bulb, on top of the Christmas tree is a star with LED lights to light up at night.

After 4 days of construction with the joint efforts of many people, especially the parish youth, the conical pine tree was completed as expected. During the day under the sunlight, the pine tree gathered more than 300 white conical hats that sparkled beautifully. At night under the electric light, the conical pine tree was even more magical and shimmering.

According to the youth of Son La parish, to contribute to creating a unique feature for Christmas 2018 in the parish, the youth here decided to set up a conical pine tree, which is simple, economical, but quite unique and beautiful. In addition, using the familiar conical hat as the material for the Christmas tree also has the meaning of honoring the traditional beauty of the homeland.

In the past few days, when the pine cone tree was completed, many young people from all over the province came to admire and take pictures. Many people wished that the cones on the pine tree would have poems written about their homeland, about God, etc., to make it more special.

However, the conical pine tree is also one of the unique products of Catholics in preparing for Christmas in Nghe An, hoping to contribute to bringing a joyful and exciting atmosphere to everyone on Christmas.
