The Symbolism of Christmas Wreath
In modern traditions, the Christmas wreath has lost its symbolism and is used as a decoration. Spruce branches, holly, mistletoe and poinsettia are often used for its preparation. These plants are known for their ability to stay green throughout the winter. Also, the
Christmas poinsettia flower has a very important role to make the wreath more festive. The choice of flowers should never be random!
As well as that, there is a belief that if two lovers kiss under a wreath of mistletoe on Christmas night, their life together will be full of happiness. So, this decoration is hung above the front door or placed on a festive table. In the second case, candles are often used to light them on New Year's or Christmas Eve.
