Workers dedicate Ground Zero Christmas tree

NEW YORK (CNN) -- In a solemn ceremony remembering those who died in the fall of the World Trade Center's twin towers September 11, workers at Ground Zero dedicated a 37-foot tall Christmas tree Friday night.

New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani also attended the ceremony, and lit the tree with the help of some children whose parents died in the collapse of the towers.

Just before the ceremony got under way, workers recovered at least two more bodies from the rubble resulting from the terrorist attacks. Those two were among the six bodies discovered since 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon.

Twinkling with 4,000 lights, the sheared balsam fir tree was also decorated with hundreds of angels, which were made by the children of union members across the United States and Canada. Perched atop the tree was a large American flag.

The tree, which came from a farm in Weeden, Quebec, was originally ordered by a nursery in New Jersey for Prudential, to go in front of its New York offices. However, in light of the September 11 attacks, Prudential canceled the order for the tree after it had been cut.

New Jersey Carpenters' Union Local 620 bought the tree and worked with the New York City Building and Trade Council -- made up of electricians, plumbers and iron workers -- to get the tree on the site.
