What is Christingle?
Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope. It is especially suitable for children, but do tie back long hair because of the candles.
Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top.
What is the Christingle made from?
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.
Christingles are made using oranges and a few other bits, as you choose. You light the candle at the end of a service to spread a magical glow around everyone.
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.
The Christingle services also raise funds for the Children's Society, helping children and young people in need. https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/
