Country Church Scene~ Free Christmas Graphic

November 3, 2014 7 Comments

This beautiful vintage German Christmas postcard features a country church winter scene. The church sits at the top of a snow-covered hill with mountains in the distant background. It’s dusk and both the church and a nearby house have indoor lights on. A snowy pine branch with pine cones and red berries frames the lower right of the postcard.

The greeting on the card is: Herzliche Weihnachtsgrufse. I don’t know what the greeting translates to in English.

Edited to add: Thank you Becky and Gayle for translating the message. It is “Warm Christmas Greetings”.

    Thank you for the lovely card!

    Since you didn’t know what it meant, I went to Google translate.
    The correct spelling is Herzliche Weihnachtsgrüße, and it means “Warm Christmas Greetings”!

    It’s German equivalent of Merry Christmas – Warm Christmas Greetings
    and the last few letters are actually grusse – that’s how they write double ss.

    Hi Julie –
    I’ve just been over all your lovely mails- and wanted to thank you for the lovely card, particularly since I’m German I will be using the image, you can bet on that!

    Gayle is quite right about the double ss, although it’s less frequently used since the latest german grammar reform.

    I will add that I find the translation somewhat peculiar, because there is nothing that could be translated to warm in the Greeting?

    The literal translation is `Cordial Christmas Greetings`and is a somewhat traditional saying in German.

    Wish you well,

    Lynn
