Christmas Traditions
Wreaths
The wreath’s origin dates back to both the ancient Pagans, when they stored the evergreen branches throughout the frozen winters, and the Romans, who gave branches as gifts at New Year to wish people lasting health and happiness.
Eventually the branches were moulded into circles and the wreath became associated with Christianity due to its circular shape representing the suffering and triumph of Christ. If people made wreaths from holly however, it was said to represent the crown of thorns that Jesus was forced to wear on the cross.
Nowadays, wreaths have become decorative objects for many. Typically hung on doors, they’re used to mark the Christmas spirit and welcome visitors.
