We have a great Advent activity for you and your family! Visit our blog today to find out how to make our Christmas Spice Wreath! LifeWayWomensAdvent
Prepare the oranges and apples a day ahead. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Slice fruit ¼-inch thick with a serrated knife and arrange them in a single layer on a wire rack on a baking sheet. Or, place the slices directly on the oven rack. Bake for 4 hours, turning a few times. Allow slices to sit overnight to continue the drying process.
Assemble the wreath or garland. Start by threading a large needle with twine. Tightly wrap the twine around a cinnamon stick , then add an orange slice and an apple slice, several bay leaves, and another orange slice. Repeat until you reach the end of the twine. Tie up the ends, hang, and enjoy! As you breathe in the wintry scents of orange, bay leaves, and cinnamon, consider Mary’s anticipation of Christ taking His first breath. Meditate on the hope Jesus embodies for all people – friends, family, enemies, coworkers, strangers—even as a helpless Babe.
Stay tuned for more Advent fun! We’ll be doing some special things together on the blog in the coming weeks. 🙂
