Yesterday I learned quite a bit about what red means. I found some additional information about red that I thought gave all readers even more insight about the Christmas color.

The color red also has deep origins too. Red is intended to symbolize the blood of Jesus. At Christmas time, we see red everywhere. Santa sports red with his popular costume. Most Christmas decorations contain some red too.

As we know, red and green are always seen together in photo Christmas cards. Why is this? What does green mean? Why are the two inseparable colors during the Christmas holiday? Green is a representation of life. Green is a symbol of the hope for eternal life that Christ offers.

There are a variety of ways we can show our Christmas spirit.

Green signifies life. You probably remember this from high school biology class. Plants depend on chlorophyll for life. With respect to Christmas, green symbolizes the hope for eternal life that Jesus offers. There are so many ways that we now incorporate Christmas colors, green in particular, into our Christmas celebrations. Evergreen trees are green and are commonly associated with Christmas as are many Christmas lights, Christmas ornaments and bows.

Tomorrow I’ll talk about other Christmas colors that are common that we can use in our photo Christmas cards.
