A Christmas wreath is like a warm welcome in front of your door and it makes your living space more cozy.
The meaning of Christmas wreath:
Christmas wreath has been originated since the Ancient times. A wreath made from the olives branches is the symbol of strength and power. Many kings of Rome and Greece wore the wreath because they believed the crown related to the power of God of Sun which can spread their influence all over the society. Wreaths were often hung by generals on walls or in front of their houses after battles as a symbol of victory. Later after that, the wreaths were also used as awards for winners in competitions of sports and arts.
Nowadays, the wreaths have a much gentler meaning. They are often hung in front of the door for decoration, making the house colorful and cozy. The wreath in front of the door represents the hospitality and warm welcome of the homeowner to the guests. Because the materials to make Christmas wreaths are quite similar to those on pine trees, the wreath can act like a part of “mini” Christmas tree. Hence, the wreath becomes one of the indispensable decorations for this wonderful time of the year.
The use of Christmas wreaths
Beside the decoration purpose, people use the Christmas wreaths to countdown when the celebration day comes. Normally one month before Christmas, the will put four white candles in the center of the wreath. On every Sunday, they will light one candle respectively. Four candles represent hope, love, joy and peace. Finally, on Christmas Eve, they light the fifth candle implying that Jesus Christ was born. This activity helps increase excitement and family gathering on the big holiday.
