Teaching Children and Grandchildren the Sacred Symbols of Our Savior at Christmas

The Hero Within Karen Hall

Have you ever looked at a candy cane and seen more than just a sweet treat? Join me, Karen Hall, in our special Christmas minisode as we unwrap the hidden depths of holiday symbols that enrich the festive season with sacred meaning. As a mother, I've found these emblems to be a powerful way to teach my children about the love and light of the Savior, and I'm excited to share these stories with you. We're journeying beyond the jingles and the tinsel to rediscover the poignant reminders of Christ's guiding light in our holiday customs, from the vibrant evergreen to the guiding star of Bethlehem.
Gather your loved ones and tune in for a heartfelt exploration of how the traditions we hold dear can point us back to the essence of Christmas. We'll examine the spiritual significance behind the gifts of the wise men, the symbolism behind the poinsettia, and even how Santa Claus's generosity mirrors how Saint Nicholas gave to others with the Savior's love. Let's inspire each other to honor the birth of Jesus through acts of kindness and celebrate this time of year not just with presents, but with presence—the presence of hope, love, and His never-ending light that shines in the darkness.
