Christingle

A Christingle is a special tradition usually done in churches during the Christmas season. It's a fun and interactive way to learn about the Christian message of hope and love.

First, all the kids sit down and receive an orange. Then they might put a red ribbon or sticky tape around the middle of the orange to represent the blood of Jesus. Next, they take four cocktail sticks and stick them into the orange at each quarter. They then put a piece of fruit or candy on each stick, which represents God's goodness and provision.

Now comes the really fun part – they get to put a candle on top of the orange! This represents Jesus, the light of the world, who brings hope into the dark places.

Finally, a prayer is said, and the candle is lit. Everyone holds their Christingle and sings songs to celebrate Jesus and the message of love and hope that He brings to the world.

In summary, a Christingle is an orange with four cocktail sticks, fruit, candy, a red ribbon, and a candle on top. It represents the Christian message of hope, love, and Jesus as the light of the world.
