Merry Christmas my dear students,
The time of celebration is coming. You can see lot of colourful light and Christmas trees decorated with beautiful ornaments in many places during this time of the year. We all are used to the candy cane, the gift bow,the star, etc. but don't know exactly what they are about? Therefore, I think it would be nice for you to know the meaning of these symbols. Below is information of some of them. If you know more, do not hesitate to share with me and your friends.
Wishing you a bright and delightful holiday season!
The Star: A heavenly sign of prophecy fulfilled long, long ago- The shining hope of mankind.
The Color Red: The first color of Christmas, symbolizing that Savior's sacrifice for all.
The Fir Tree: Evergreen- the second color of Christmas shows everlasting light and life. The needles point up to heaven.
The Bell: Rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold, signifying that all are precious in His eyes.
The Candle: A mirror of starlight, reflecting our thanks for the star of Bethlehem.
The Gift Bow: Tied as we should all be tied together in bonds of goodwill forever.
The Candy Cane: Represents the shape of the shepherd's crook, used to bring lost lambs back to the fold.
