Making Christingles

In preparation for our Carol Service at St. Andrew's Church in Swavesey, clients at Over Day Centre made Christingles.

A Christingle is a symbolic Christmas decoration featuring an orange (representing the world) with a candle (symbolising Jesus' light), a red ribbon (indicating Christ's sacrifice), and fruits/sweets (representing God's creations).

We had a lot of fun making these - and not too many Dolly Mixtures got eaten in the process 😉.

“My niece organised for me to come because I live alone. I thoroughly enjoy it and look forward to my days at the Day Centre. I have a lovely meal, get my hair done, have my nails polished and chat to the new friends that I’ve made.
