Apples.
Apples were a magical fruit to the ancients. Its juices fermented into a liquor, its fruit outlived other fruits, thus tha apple gave food and cheer at a time when, in the depths of winter, man had neither. The apple also represented mans fall from Paradise, as the forbidden fruit of Eden. Select this link to view our Christmas Ornament Sets.

Bells.
The first bells came from China, but all ancient religions and societies used them for their ceremonies. Bells evolved from rattles into the sweet toned silver bells we have today, though the church did not use bells until the 6th century. The bells used by Santas helpers for charity came from the Middle Ages when the poor rang hand bells for alms. Select this link to view our Power Strips and Power Protection Supplies.
Candles.
Man has been using candles since 3000 B.C. The ancients used them to prolong the day. Candles became a symbol of expressing joy. The Romans exchanged glowing tapers as expressions of goodwill and affection. The use of candles for Christmas celebrations was absorbed into the symbol of Jesus as the light of the World, and as a symbol of everlasting life.
The tradition of putting candles in the windows comes from Ireland. When Christianity was suppressed in Ireland, the priest had to travel secretly, through the night, to visit his parishioners. Irish Christians left their doors unlocked and candles in the windows to show the priests where there was a friendly place to stay and to guide them through the dark night. When the English authorities questioned the people, they explained that the candles were for Mary and Joseph. Select this link to view our Nativity Ornaments.
