The association of the wreath with Christmas dates back to the 16th century, when the Lutherans in Germany started to use it as a symbol of the Advent. The Advent wreath has a circular shape to represent God with no beginning and no end.
The wreath is one of the most popular decorations during the Christmas holiday season. Wreaths are traditionally hung on front doors as a sign of welcome, used in Advent Wreaths in Christian traditions, strung from lampposts in cities, and used in a variety of other different ways. Christmas wreaths have certainly become an important part of modern December holiday traditions, but they actually have a long history of symbolism spanning many different cultures. Here’s some background on the various symbolisms of the wreath and the ways those meanings translate to our modern cultural tableau.
In this modern time,the Christmas wreath has come to convey its own set of meanings in modern times. Across time, the circle or ring shape of a wreath that has no beginning and no end symbolizes eternity or eternal rebirth. Pre-Christian cultures’ interpretation of the power of evergreens to battle the forces of winter has evolved into a modern representation of eternal life. The vast array of materials that are used to create a modern wreath carry significance as well. Holly represents immortality, for instance, whereas cedar stands for strength. But for many, the wreath’s symbolic attributes are much simpler than all this. The Christmas wreath has evolved into a sign of welcoming and an acknowledgment of holiday cheer for this season that emphasizes generosity, giving, and the gathering of loved ones.
