Christingle

Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and our community together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope. 

Christingles are made using oranges and a few other bits. You light the candle at the end of a service to spread a magical glow around everyone.

Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:

• The orange represents the world
• The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
• The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
• The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.
