Wreaths
December 25, 2013
Wreaths hang on the doors of homes during all parts of the year but especially at Christmastime. In Maine quite often the wreaths are created out of evergreen. In my younger days I would make wreaths but in the past few years I purchase them to save time and to support the local economy. Each year I save the metal ring knowing I will, in the future, make them again.
Wreaths have been used for years as part of ceremony’s and cultures around the world. They have much history and symbolism attached to them. I understand that evergreens are a symbol of strength as they last even throughout the most severe winters. Maine is experiencing a harsh winter (so far). I have two wreaths on the doors of my home and I took one to the Maine Arts Commission to hang on the front door there as well. I know we’ll all make it through this winter, whatever the weather sends our way! I hope you are safe today and perhaps you’ve hung a wreath on your home. Merry Christmas!
