The meaning of a Christmas Wreath

I never thought about what the meaning of the Christmas wreath is, where it originated, how it relates to Christmas and the true meaning of Christmas.


Boy, was I surprised when I started researching the meaning of the Christmas wreath. I always thought they were just a pretty ornament for the holiday season. I was entirely wrong!


Here's a simple article that summarizes the essence of what the Christmas wreath signifies:


eternity,

everlasting life,

growth,

Jesus's blood and the

circle of life that is forever.

Since the circle has no beginning and no end, many believe it represents God's love for us, which has no beginning and no end. In other words, God loves us through thick and thin, regardless of what daily challenges we happen to be struggling through.


Who else can love us with no strings attached, wanting nothing from us except to Love Thy neighbor as Thyself and To love God with all your heart and mind?


The holly branches have red berries and red thorns. The thorns represent the "thorn on Jesus' crown" while the berries show the blood Jesus shed for us when he was crucified.


Evergreens are used in the Christmas wreath and live through winter, which some people say shows the strength of life.


Others say that the evergreen stays green all year round and represents hope that we all need to live as joyously as possible.


Knowing just a little about the meaning of the Christmas wreath helps us understand and better remember the true meaning of Christmas.


It's amazing to think how much significance is represented in the meaning of Christmas symbols like the wreath.


How does knowing about Christmas wreaths empower children?


The purpose of Childrens Educational Books is Inspiration Empowering Children, to nurture kid's hearts as well as to feed their minds.


Learning about wreaths allows kids from backgrounds and cultures who, like me, know nothing about wreaths, to learn a little, and thus open their horizons.

There was a stall at the Pexmas market selling wreaths for ?75!!!


Very pretty wreaths but basically a bunch of twigs.


The stallholders had sold out on Saturday afternoon, except for two .... She had had some smaller cheaper ones, but all sold ...

    • Found a black umbrella on the 63 bus at Forest Hill Road a couple of days ago in the morning. Thought about keeping it since umbrellas are one of the most common lost items on public transport and no one bothers to collect them. Try lost property Peckham bus garage if it's yours, sorry no picture. No idea if they charge a collection fee. I know the days of drivers being rewarded for claimed lost property like the old days are long gone.
    • this is jokes -  I walked through Dulwich park and there were loads of people there and actually the skate park is reasonably illuminated by the street lights.  I was stating a tiny fact about a sliver of time not making a statement on the 'youth of today'    
    • The sun set at 5.37pm yesterday and it was 7⁰ at that time, according to the Met Office. The skate park is, obviously, unlit. Kids these days can't win. They get off their arse and make use of a derelict car park, and it gets called a haven for underage drink and drugs. They use the skate park and people complain it's noisy; they don't use it because it's dark and cold and people complain about that too! If they were out there bundled up against the cold yesterday, we'd probably hear moaning about "hoodie ruffians wearing masks..."
