Year 1 have been busy learning about Christingles this week in RE.

We learnt that they are used by some Christian people in church during the time of Advent, to celebrate the birth of Jesus and Jesus as the Light of the World. We also learnt that each part of the Christingles has a special meaning behind it: 

The word Christingle means 'Christ's light'.  

• Candle- Jesus is the light of the world. 
• Orange- The world. 
• Red Ribbon- Christ’s blood 
• 4 Sticks- 4 seasons  
• Sweets- God’s creation. 

Look how amazing our Christingle looks!
