A Christ Centered Christmas: Christmas Symbols

Do you remember the meanings behind all of the Christmas symbols? I knew most of them, but it was good to be reminded of a few.  Our next family home evening lesson is ready to go, with a little bag I put together to help the kids learn about each of the symbols of Christmas.




The Star
A heavenly sign of prophecy fulfilled long, long ago- The shining hope of mankind.

The Color Red
The first color of Christmas, symbolizing the Savior's sacrifice for all.

The Fir Tree: Evergreen
The second color of Christmas shows everlasting light and life.  The needles point up to heaven.

The Bell
Rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold, signifying that all are precious in His eyes.

The Candle
A mirror of starlight, reflecting our thanks for the star of Bethlehem.

The Gift Bow
Tied as we should all be tied together in bonds of goodwill forever.

The Candy Cane
Represents the shape of the shepherd's crook, used to bring lost lambs back to the fold.

The Wreath
A symbol of the never ending eternal value of love.
