The Meaning of Christmas

Dec 23, 2005 17:30


Santa Whispered "Teach the children the meaning of Christmas."
  • The star: A heavenly sign of prophecy fulfilled long ages ago - the shining hope of mankind.
  • Red - The first color of Christmas symbolizing the Savior's sacrifice for all.
  • Fir Tree ot Evergreen - The second color of Christmas shows everlasting life. The needles point Heavenward.
  • The Bell - Rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold - signifying all are precious in the eyes of the Lord
  • The Candle -  A mirror of starlight reflecting our thanks for the star of Bethlehem.
  • Gift Bow - Tied as we should all be tied together in bonds of goodwill forever.
  • Candy Cane - The shepherd's crook used to bring lambs back into the fold. A reminder tat we are all our brother's keeper.
  • The Wreath - A symbol of the never ending eternal nature of love, having no beginning and no end.

I have this framed and display it at Christmas. It helps to remember what the symbols represent and remind me what the season is about.
