Colours of Christmas
Some say that this is because of
the red and green plants of
wintertime contrasting with the
white snow.

Red
means love and reflects our warmth and
love for each other.
It is also the colour that is considered the
greatest excitement.
As a religious symbol it stands for fire, blood, and charity.

Green
means hope and the eternal
longing for spring and all the
promises of the future.
Green is the symbol of nature,
youth, and the hope of eternal
life.

White
means purity and is represented by the
crystalline form of water and the snowflake.
White is the religious symbol which stands
for light, purity, joy and glory.
