THE COLOR OF CHRISTMAS

 

The automatically associate colors with Christmas festivities such as the red of the berries on the holly bush or in Santa’s outfit.

Red in its many uses is definitely the color of December and as a religious symbol it stands for fire, blood and charity.

We also have the green of Christmas trees and holly and Green is the universal symbol for nature and for youth.

Christmas is a feast of hope, with a newborn child as its central symbol.

It is for this reason that green is the color of new beginnings and the hope of eternal life.

Symbolically, white stands for light and purity as seen in the white robes of the Christmas angels and in the white snowy Christmas landscapes.

Gold is the color of the Christmas stars and candles and stands for sunlight and radiance.

The Golden radiance is Christ’s love for the world.
