Christingle

Tuesday 24 December 2024 Tuesday at for 1 hour
St Michael-on-Greenhill, Lichfield
Church Street, Lichfield Lichfield, WS13 6ED, United Kingdom
During the service, each person takes a Christingle and the candles are all lit to create a warm, magical glow symbolising the light of Christ and bringing hope to people living in darkness.

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.

Annually
