A bit of historical background
Wreaths symbolize the strength of life overcoming the forces of winter. The giving
of wreaths at Christmas goes back to Roman times. The wreath was an early Roman and
Greek symbol of victory. Soon it began to figure in Christianity. When Christ was
crowned with thorny holly branches, the white berries changed to blood red. As
people began to use the symbolic wreath at Christmas time, a lighted candle
was placed in the center of the wreath to remind people of the new light of
the world: Jesus, born on Christmas Day.
Evergreens were used in wreaths as a symbol of immortality, because the boughs would
stay green when all else was brown and dead. Evergreens were thought to possess magical
properties and were a sign of enduring life.
Even our primitive forefathers brought in green branches during the winter solstice,
and used them in magical rites to ensure the return of spring and new vegetation.
