Christingle Making

In preparation for the service, during lunch time, over 50 students attended the Christingle workshop led by prefects. Students made their Christingles ready to use in the service.

The orange represents the world.
The candle reminds Christians of Jesus, who they believe to be the light of the world.
The red ribbon goes around the 'world' and, being the colour of blood, reminds Christians that Jesus died
The four cocktail sticks could have one of two meanings; the four seasons or the four corners of the world.
The sweets (or sometimes dried fruit) remind Christians of God's gifts to the world, including kindness and love.
