a simple symbol to help make the message of Christmas fresh and lively for them.
The Christingle consists of:
- an orange representing the world
- a red ribbon around it representing the blood of Jesus
- dolly mixtures skewered on cocktail sticks pushed into the orange representing the fruits of the earth and the four seasons (however the representation of the four seasons was later associated and not of moravian origin.)
- a lighted candle pushed into the centre of the orange, representing Jesus Christ as the light of the world
