Year 2 Christingles

As part of our preparations for Christmas in advent Year 2 made made the traditional German Christmas decoration the Christingle. Each part of the Christingle is symbolic: the orange represents the world, the red ribbon Jesus’ blood; the four cocktail sticks represent the four seasons and the four points of the compass, while the sweets remind us of the fruits of the Earth, Lastly, the candle reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world.

We took our Christingles home with a special prayer to share with our families to help them to prepare for the coming of Jesus on Christmas Day.
