The Historic Meaning of the Christmas Wreath

Many ancient cultures have used the wreath as a religious symbol.  In ancient Greek times the wreath was called a diadem which means “to bind around". Early Germanics used the wreath as a  symbol of the power of life overcoming the destructive influences of winter. Christians then took it up and used it as a symbol of everlasting life, protection and safety.

The Meaning and Use of Christmas Wreaths today

The wreath is still used at weddings, funerals, festivals and for celebratory and seasonal celebrations.

Today, Holiday wreaths are used as holiday decorations as beckoning adornments for our front doors, eye catching displays above the mantelpiece and as centerpieces for our tables. A decorative front door wreath displayed on the door in the Christmas holiday season still symbolizes strength and safety. It beckons the visitor with a warm welcome and promise of safety from the cold and snow outside.

The Christian world today also applies strong Christmas symbolism and messages to the Christmas wreath.  Generally the Christmas wreath is a symbol of Christian immortality with the circle representing eternal life and immortality.

The Advent wreath is a particular type of Christmas wreath with meaningful religious ceremony attached. For a detailed explanation of the meaning of the advent wreath please visit our "Meanings of Advent" page.

For some the Christmas wreath symbolizes that Christ binds this household together in love and many Christians today display the Christmas wreath for this purpose. While some are very particular about all the elements in the wreath and what they symbolize, others have no concern for symbolism but rather enjoy the sheer beauty and fun of decorative wreaths.

Today the Holiday Wreath is often used for nothing other than as a decorative wreath and it comes in a huge range of colors, designs and styles to suit all decor preferences.
