DESCRIPTION:What is Christingle?\nChristingle is a joyful celebration that
  brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and 
 spread a message of hope.  It is especially suitable for children\, but do
  tie back long hair because of the candles.\n\nChristingle celebrations ar
 e named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christing
 les are oranges wrapped in red tape\, decorated with dried fruit or sweets
 \, with a candle on the top.\n\nWhat is the Christingle made from?\nDuring
  the service\, each person takes a Christingle and the candles are all lit
  to create a warm\, magical glow symbolising the light of Christ and bring
 ing hope to people living in darkness.\n\nChristingles are made using oran
 ges and a few other bits\, as you choose. You light the candle at the end 
 of a service to spread a magical glow around everyone.\n\nEach element of 
 a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
 \n\nThe orange represents the world\nThe red ribbon (or tape) symbolises t
 he love and blood of Christ\nThe sweets and dried fruit represent all of G
 od’s creations\nThe lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world\,
  bringing hope to people living in darkness.\n\nThe Christingle services a
 lso raise funds for the Children's Society\, helping children and young pe
 ople in need.  https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/
