Christingle

December 22, 2023

Christingle means ‘Christ’s Light’ and it is a symbol of the Christian faith. Lots of churches hold Christingle services around Christmas time. The custom of giving out lighted candles in these services began in Germany in 1747 but it wasn’t introduced to the UK until the late 60’s.

Christingles are made up of different parts, each one being there to remind us of something and it starts with an orange …….

Come and join us at 4pm on Christmas Eve and find out what it’s all about!

All welcome
