Christingle 2024
Today St Mark's held our traditional Christingle Day. All the children arrived at school with an orange ready to decorate it with ribbon, sweets and a candle, before lighting these in a special collective worship.
The word Christingle means "Christ's Light". Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
*The orange represents the world
*The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
*The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God's creations
*The lit candle represents Jesus's light in the world.
The children sang an uplifting Christingle song and sat in quiet awe of the darkened hall with the candles alight. A very special moment!
