Enjoyed the Christingle service at St. James. According to the rector, it became a popular service in England in the 1960's, but it originated in Germany. The orange represents the globe. Enjoy Alex Benestelli, the music director, conduct a rehearsal for the next service at 5.

A big thank you to everyone who attended our Christingle service on Christmas Eve! We hope that the light of Jesus has burned brightly in your homes this Christmas time. 🙏🏼

This baby Jesus, to be used for this afternoons Christingle Mime, scares the heck out of me!!

Largest Midnight Mass congregation for 10 years at St Clement’s.. And the Christingle Crib Service was up by 20% on last year. Thanks be to God! Merry Christmas from the Rectory 🎄

Just got in from leading the midnight communion service, having preached at the 10:30am service, given a talk at the Christingle & assisted with communion at the hospital earlier this evening. What a privilege it is to serve God's people - cheers! #ClergyMaltClub

Christingle live! #Christmas

And so christmastide ended… with a Candlemas christingle at our amazing church primary school yesterday, who kindly shared these pictures. The Light of Christ, as we turn from cradle to cross 😍

Christingle done and in our pjs setting up some food and drink for the big man 🎅🏻

BIG CHRISTINGLE DAY! Many thanks to my excellent dad who made the Christingle this week!

The new vicar up at St. Peter’s in Souderton is a former RAF chaplain. He brought with him across the pond the tradition of Christingle, which is a sort of simplified lessons & carols with a children’s craft in it. The kids enjoyed it.

Couldn't get in a nice Sussex village church today (bloody christingle) so made do with the excellent dark is rising vibes of the churchyard instead.

🕯️✨Come to our Christingle Service on Sunday at 11.00am when we light our Christingle candles, symbolising the wonderful light of Jesus that brings hope to all people 🕯️Everyone very welcome The Children's Society The CofE in Lancashire (Blackburn Diocese)

Took Lennon to christingle to belt out some xmas carols, then took him to his mum as hes there tonight & tomorrow daytime 😔😭 had to get a pic of him last night in xmas pjs instead

Powerful time at our Christingle Gathering tonight. Joy isn’t the same as happiness, and communities of joy aren’t always happy. But they’re full of people growing in trust that God is good and that his faithfulness is the source of our joy. May you know Joy this Christmas Eve.

Over £700 was collected at our Christingle Services yesterday - the money will support The Children's Society
