The Origin of the Christmas Wreath
Christmas wreaths originated in Germany.
As early as 1839, locals gathered evergreen branches and leaves to make wreaths on Christmas Eve, and put candles in to wait for Jesus to come. For Christians, the evergreen of the wreath and its rings represent the eternal hope and immortal life of mankind.
Nowadays, many countries and families have the custom and preference to hang Christmas wreaths on their doors during Christmas. Christmas wreaths are generally made of evergreen branches and leaves, such as pine and cypress branches, mistletoe, ivy or holly branches, etc., and then decorated with various materials such as pine cones, cinnamon, bows, Christmas balls, and fruits.
It is said that hanging this garland on Christmas Eve can protect your children from being harmed by demons in the new year.
