We enjoyed a wonderful assembly this morning, thoughtfully hosted by our Year 6 pupils. They spoke clearly and confidently as they helped us understand the meaning of a Christingle and why it is an important Christian symbol during Advent and Christmas.
A Christingle is made up of several powerful symbols:
The orange represents the world
The candle reminds Christians that Jesus is the Light of the World
The red ribbon symbolises Jesus’ love and the blood he shed
The sweets or dried fruit on sticks represent God’s creation and the seasons of the year
Year 6 did a fantastic job of explaining these ideas and leading the assembly with maturity and respect. It was a calm, reflective moment for the whole school and a lovely reminder of the messages of hope, love and light at this special time of year
