Today Ash Class made Christingles when learning about Christmas Light and understanding how Jesus is the light of the world.

Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope.

Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top.

There is no one way to hold a Christingle celebration. From socially distanced gatherings, to intimate events online, last year showed us how communities can come together to Christingle safely in new and innovative ways.

Christingles are usually held from the end of November through to February (Advent to Candlemas), with Christmas Eve being a particularly popular time for services. But you can host one whenever you like.

The children had to read and follow instructions in pairs so that they were developing their Reading skills through their RE lesson.
