This week, the whole school learnt about the meaning of Christingle and made their own. We then celebrated our Christingle in church with family and friends.
Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope.
The orange represents the world.
The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ.
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations.
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.
The children sang beautifully, recited readings from John 1: 1-5 / Genesis 1: 1-5 and shared prayers. They also were very sensible with their lit Christingles!
