Loved by children and adults alike, this candlelit celebration is an ideal way to share the key messages of Christmas and Christianity, while helping to raise vital funds to help vulnerable children across the country.
The celebration
At Holy Trinity we celebrate with carols, a Nativity performance and a collection in aid of The Children’s Society. The main element that is universal to all Christingle celebrations is the lighting of Christingle candles.
Helping vulnerable children
The Children’s Society relies on the vital funds raised through Christingle celebrations to fund their work with vulnerable children and young people in our community and across the country.
Symbolism
- The orange – represents the world
- The red ribbon – indicates the love and blood of Christ
- The dried fruits and sweets – symbols of God’s creations
- The lit candle – symbolises Jesus, the light of the world
Please join us to make the Christingle candles 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock on Saturday 24th December.
Children will rehearse the Nativity at 10.30am.
The service itself will start at 5pm.
