We have had lots of fun making Christingles in school today. Ask your children all about them, before they eat the sweets! Christingles are traditionally made during Advent with an orange to represent the earth; red ribbon for Jesus’ blood ( a symbol of his sacrifice for mankind); cocktail sticks for the four seasons or compass points; fruit or sweets to represent the fruits of the earth and most importantly, a candle to shine like Jesus -the light of the world.
