Year 2 Christingles
Lesson: Religious education
Class: Year 2 Year: 2015 - 2016
On Thursday as part of our studies into the celebration of Christmas across the world we spoke about Christingles. We learnt that they actually started out in Germany in the 1700s but then came across to England in the 1960s.
Although they are a great decorative piece, each part has a meaning to Christians:
ORANGE- the world
RED RIBBON- the blood of Jesus running through the world
COCKTAIL STICKS- the 4 seasons
SWEETS ON TOP- the gifts from God.
CANDLE- the light of Jesus shining over the world.
