St Simons Kaleen held a Christingle service yesterday. The Christingle was introduced by a Bishop John De Watteville in Moravia as a way of telling people that God loved them.As a visual aid he took an orange and put in it four sticks to represent the seasons of the year.

A red ribbon was attached round the candle to show that Jesus's love stretched right around the world and was for everyone. The photos show the Christingles
