Is a holiday wreath considered religious?

I don't think so. I think it's from the Yule time Winter Solstice celebration. But they sure are harmless and festive to me.

Is a holiday wreath considered religious?
The hanging of wreaths and the trimming of (Christmas) trees is a Pagaen ritual and displeasing to God. Check your Bible.
Reply:I certainly hope not. Anyway, of late, just about everything we once took as ordinary has been pigeon-holed under some religious heading.





A holiday wreath, to me, is simply lovely to hang and I make them. I really don't plan on stopping.
Reply:Well, the wreath itself has few specific symbolic connections to Christianity, so no. However, it is derived from traditional Yule decorations, so, in the proper context, I might consider it to be an expression of Pagan beliefs; in that case I'd say yes.
Reply:Since Christmas is not a scriptural holiday, the holiday wreath is unscriptural as well.
Reply:Hi. I am sorry, but I do not celebrate pagan holidays.
Reply:My belief is that you can make anything religious. It depends on how the item in question is decorated and/or is used.





Have a lovely rest of the day.

The Encyclopedia Britannica, under “Celastrales,” exposes the origin of the holly wreath: “European pagans brought holly sprays into their homes, offering them to the fairy people of the forests as refuge from the harsh winter weather. During the Saturnalia, the Roman winter festival, branches of holly were exchanged as tokens of friendship. The earliest Roman Christians apparently used holly as a decoration at the Christmas season.”


There are dozens of different types of holly. Virtually all of them come in male and female varieties—such as “Blue Prince and Blue Princess” or “Blue Boy and Blue Girl” Female holly plants cannot have berries unless a nearby male plant pollinates them. It is easy to see why the holly wreath found its way into pagan rituals as a token of friendship and fertility.
