Dried Orange Garland DIY: Easy Holiday Craft

You know, when I was a kid, every year I would find a juicy orange in my Christmas stocking. At the time, I thought it was just a quirky thing my mom did, a unique family touch to our holiday celebrations. It was like our own little tradition: every Christmas morning there was a bright, sweet orange nestled among the other treats. But as I grew up and started discovering more about traditions and their origins, I realized there was so much more to this simple fruit. It turns out that this charming practice of gifting oranges is tied to age-old traditions Yule celebrations and the winter solstice and can be traced back to various legends and practices.

One of the most popular stories is associated with Sinterklaas, or Santa Claus. It is said that Saint Nicholas, known for his generosity, once helped a poor man who could not afford a dowry for his three daughters. Sinterklaas secretly threw bags of gold through the man’s window, and these bags are said to have ended up in stockings or shoes left by the fire. This gold is often represented by oranges in Christmas traditions.

There is also a more practical angle to this tradition. Oranges were once a rare and expensive treat, especially in colder climates. They became a symbol of luxury and a special treat during the winter months when fresh fruit was scarce. Receiving an orange was a sign of good luck and a luxury to be enjoyed.

In terms of Yule, a festival celebrated by the Germanic peoples before their assimilation into Christian traditions, oranges were prized for their bright, sun-like appearance. They symbolized the return of the sun during the darkest time of the year. This celebration was all about welcoming the light and warmth, and oranges symbolized this perfectly.
