On Wednesday, the Nursery children enjoyed making their Christingles.
A Christingle is a symbolic orange decorated with raisins on sticks, a red ribbon and a candle. It is used in church services, around Christmas time, and represents Christ as the Light of the World. Each part of the Christingle holds specific Christian meanings.
Orange: Represents the world.
Red Ribbon: Symbolizes Jesus’s blood and love.
Four Cocktail Sticks: Represent the four seasons or directions (North, South, East, West).
Fruit: Symbolizes God’s creation and blessings.
Candle: The central symbol of Jesus as the Light of the World, bringing hope into darkness.
