Christmas in many ways

Christmas in many ways

 

There are many colors that represent Christmas. Each color used in Christmas decorations has a meaning. Green represents eternal life, red represents the atoning blood shed by Christ on the cross.  Gold and silver represent the nobility of Christ the King and white represents snow and angels.

The items used in decorations also have various meanings. Bells represent the joyous news, candles represent Christ the light of the world and stars represent the star that guided the astrologers.  Holly is used in Christmas decorations. Its sharp thorns are reminiscent of a crown of thorns. And the red berries represent the shed blood of Christ.

Poinsettias are also used in Christmas decorations, and were probably chosen because the red petals and green leaves are Christmas colors.
