Light Up the Season Christingle Service in Great Casterton
Families are warmly invited to a very special and meaningful festive service this December at St Peter and St Paul Great Casterton Church.
The beautiful parish church in Great Casterton will be hosting a family-friendly Christingle Service on Sunday, December 14, 2025. This cherished event is a wonderful way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas in a bright and accessible way for all ages.
The service will take place from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM (16:00 - 17:00).
Christingle is a symbolic service where each person receives a Christingle orange, representing the world, decorated with a red ribbon (representing the blood of Christ), four sticks holding sweets or dried fruit (representing the four seasons and the fruits of the earth), and a candle (representing Christ, the Light of the World). It is a truly uplifting and poignant experience, especially for children.
