What does the Christingle mean?
The Christingle itself is made up of
- four cocktail sticks bearing dried fruit or sweets - to signify the four seasons and the fruits of the earth and God's good gifts
- a red ribbon (or tape) - indicating the blood/ love of Christ
- an orange - representing the world
- a lighted candle - symbolising Jesus, the Light of the World
Christingle is a great way for children to raise money for thousands of less fortunate young people. And it's easy to involve children in the preparations.
Watch our Christingle film to find out more or download the powerpoint.
Have a look at our resources for churches, youth groups and schools for more information on how to make a Christingle and a range of activities (some based on the 4 parts of the Christingle), that you can use to engage you community in the message of Christingle:
