Christingle is a symbolic service where each person receives a Christingle orange, representing the world, decorated with a red ribbon (representing the blood of Christ), four sticks holding sweets or dried fruit (representing the four seasons and the fruits of the earth), and a candle (representing Christ, the Light of the World). It is a truly uplifting and poignant experience, especially for children.
