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 ...

For ?5.50 even a naysayer like me is in.

Happy Xmas etc.
