I went to my first Christingle service last Sunday. I'd heard about it through friends of mine and decided to go. It was lovely seeing the children going up to receive their Christingle Oranges and then moving back to the front of the church. I looked up a bit of information about this ceremony and discovered that it is quite ancient and was practiced by the Moravians in the eighteenth century and was adopted by the Anglican church in 1968. Afterward I stayed and listened to a concert with Pendeen Silver Band and Mounts Bay Singers.
