The significance of Christmas Wreaths

Christmas wreaths are one of the most important Christmas decorations that we put up during the holiday season. Wreaths have had a long past and they are one of the first decorations until now. However, have you considered its past and why it is important?

During ancient times, wreaths were commonly created as a sign of divine favor from the gods. Its circular shape represented eternity since circles have no beginning as well as no end. For Romans, the wreath that Apollo had was a sign of eternal love. For the Druids, the wreath and the circle proclaimed the continuation of nature surpassing normal human time lines. With the intermingling and migration of different nations and cultures throughout history, the meaning of the wreath became a mixture of pagan ad Christian customs.

Moving forward with today, Christianity kept spreading and thus influenced the meaning of the wreath as well. Today, many regard the wreath as a symbol of the Lord's undying love and the blood He shed for us. Specifically, the red holly berries as well as the scarlet ribbons signified this. Moreover, other people take the Christmas wreaths as a symbol of the Lord's crown of thorns.
