And one of our lessons was making our own christingles. We talked about how they symbolise the world and the sacrifices Jesus made. Each parts of the Christingle has an important meaning behind it. The sweets skewed on sticks represents the fruit of the Earth, the orange represents the world, the candle represents Jesus as the light of the world, the four sticks represents the four compas direction and the four seasons and finally, the ribbon represents the blood of Jesus. The kids had a blast doing this activity and even shared several opinions surrounding making this amazing activity.
