THE SYMBOLISM OF OUR POINSETTIA TREE

The poinsettia is a traditional Christmas plant representing the miracle of Jesus’ birth. The shape of the poinsettia flower and laves resemble the star of Bethlehem, which led the Wise Men to Jesus. The red colored leaves represent the blood of Christ shed for the World. The white leaves represent his purity.

AS the legend states, the poinsettia is the result of a lowly gift, a weed like plant, placed in front of the statue of the Christ child that miraculously changes into a beautiful flower.

Please help us continue this beautiful tradition by purchasing the flowers for our poinsettia tree. 42 White poinsettia plants have been pre-ordered for this year’s tree.

There will be a sign up sheet with donation envelopes available in the Narthex beginning December 1st.

Each plant costs $15.00
