John 1:9-12 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world... to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God...Today we did something that I am sad to say we have never done since we have lived here in Scotland. We did a carol service and each child held a Christingle. What is a Christingle you ask? It is a symbol (for children) that finds it's roots in the Moravian Church.
Each Christingle consists of:
an orange that represents the worldIt is a pretty cool symbol for the Christmas season as we celebrate the coming of the light of the world... the savior of the world. Thank You Lord for Your gift of life.
a red ribbon that represents the blood of Jesus
4 cloves represent the fragrant fruits of the earth and its four seasons
and a lighted candle pushed into the orange represents Jesus Christ the light of the world
