Advent defined by Webster is the "arrival" or "coming" of something significant. For Christians, the birth of Christ and His later crucifixion were momentous events. As Christians, we celebrate His birthday, Christmas. Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas. For many Christians, part of the celebration of Advent is the beautiful Wreath.

The Story of the Advent Wreath



Every part of the Advent Wreath is steeped in symbolism. Made of various evergreens that represent continuous life, the Wreath is also a reminder that with Christ, we have everlasting life. Each evergreen has its own specific meaning. The prickly leaves of holly serve as a reminder of the crown of thorns placed on Christ at the crucifixion. Using laurel represents victory over persecution. Pine cones used in decorating the Wreath signifies life and resurrection. Of course, the circular shape of the wreath symbolizes eternity and enduring life.



The Story of the Advent Wreath

Four candles adorn the Advent Wreath. Most Advent Wreaths are made with three purple candles and one pink candle. Many modern Wreaths include a larger white candle in the center of the wreath which represents Christ. The four outer candles represent the four weeks of Advent. Each Sunday, an outer candle is lit. On Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, the middle candle or Christ candle is lit. According to historians, in the early years of the church, each candle in the Wreath was given a name. The outer candles were hope, peace, love and joy and the center candle, the Christ.

Through the years, the Advent Wreath has become a family tradition for many Christians. Not all churches formally recognize the season of Advent and do not include the Wreath in Christmas celebrations. However, it's interesting to note that in recent years, many of the Protestant and Evangelical Christians have recognized the spiritual importance of Advent. As a result, more churches have revived some of the Advent customs with this Wreath being one of those customs.

Whether or not your church displays the Advent Wreath, this is a tradition you can observe in your home. Advent Wreaths can be purchased or made. Creating a Wreath as a family would certainly magnify its importance in Christian families. This is a wonderful family tradition you can begin. The beautiful memories you make with your children will last forever. As adults, they will want to continue this wonderful tradition.

Start by preheating the oven at 250 degrees, do this before you start so the oven will be warm when you are ready to use it. I like to use both the red and green peppermint candies to add more color and design to my wreath ornament. First open about four of each color candies out of their individual wrappers so you will have four red and four green. The number will depend on the size pie pan you are using so you may need a couple more or less. I use the mini pie pans which makes the perfect size ornament. Take the mini sized tin pie pan and place it on a cookie sheet then put the candies in the pie pan about a half inch from the edge of the pie pan. Alternate the green and red candies in the pie pan to create a pattern.

Now place them in the oven for about three to five minutes or until the candies have melted together creating a ring shape. Once melted together pull out of the oven and allow to cool for at least fifteen minutes. When the wreath has cooled if you plan to eat it use icing to make a bow at the top and it's ready to eat. For ornament use spray it with a clear cote hi-shine glaze on both sides then let dry. This will create a seal around your candy wreath. Take some ribbon and a bow and a loop then glue the bow on the top center of the wreath and the loop on the back of the top center of the wreath ornament. Now your ornament candy wreath is ready to be hung on your Christmas tree.

For a bigger wreath you can just use a full sized pie pan. Also if you want a quicker project just leave the wrappers on the candies and glue them together instead of melting them.

What you Need:
Mini pie pan
Cookie sheet
2 bags of peppermint candies one green and one red
Ribbon
Glue
Clear cote hi-shine glaze

The wreath that was hung on the doors of the family homes during this time was actually a symbol of wealth and importance. Granted, the wreaths of the Persian Empire were smaller than the ones that hang on doors today. As a matter of fact, they were worn on the head and were encrusted with jewels. The Greeks made wreaths of laurel that were placed on the heads of winning athletes during the Olympic Games.

The Story Behind the Christmas Wreath



This tradition was continued by the Romans and they were worn on the heads of leaders, such as Julius Caesar. Eventually they moved from headgear to wall and door decorations, possibly as a souvenir of the athlete's victory. It is believed that this is how the tradition of hanging them on the wall was born. From here the tradition of hanging a wreath made of evergreen was started and it moved into Eastern Europe. The wreath was decorated with candles and lit during the cold winter evening in order to help rush in spring and the good weather.



The Story Behind the Christmas Wreath

The Christmas wreath tradition moved from pagan traditions to a Christian tradition, typically used by the Catholics. The wreath was hung up during Advent and they usually had four candles in the middle of the evergreen circle. The wreath today is a circle, signifying that it had no beginning and no end and is considered in the Christian religion a symbol of God and eternity. The candles in the wreath were traditionally white or three violets and one rose. Each candle was lit everyday with the exception of the middle candle which was not lit until Christmas Eve. They were usually lit right before dinner.

The Christmas wreath is quite often made of evergreen boughs of holly and they can be real or artificial. While an artificial wreath will last considerably longer, they don't have the same smell as a fresh wreath when made of real pine and other items. It can be decorated today with traditional items, such as pine cones, fruits, berries, lace and ribbon or it can be made with more modern materials for a different look.

Whether you hand make a Christmas wreath or buy one from the store it is important to remember how the wreath got its start and to reflect upon what it means to you and your family. These holiday decorations are a joy to behold on every door and make your home look warm and inviting no matter how you decorate it.

Eight Ideas for Holiday Candy Cane Decorations

Our favorite peppermint treats are always a nice addition to a traditional wreath made with almost any material.
