Christingle

“For anyone who does not share this tradition a Christingle is: - an orange representing the world; - a red ribbon around it representing the blood of Jesus; - dried fruits or sweets skewered on cocktail sticks representing the fruits of the earth and the four seasons; and - the lit candle pushed into the centre of the orange, representing Jesus Christ as the light of the world”
