Your Wreath can also be used with:

- The Messiah Manger (sold separately): This piece fits perfectly over the last candle hole, adding depth to the wreath as a symbol of Christ’s humble birth.
We have also prayerfully written two free, downloadable devotionals: Advent: Celebrating Christ From The Cradle To The Cross and Lent: Celebrating Christ From The Cradle to the Cross. These devotionals, woven with the names of Jesus, have brought us profound joy, and we pray your family will find them equally meaningful.
The Cradle-to-Cross Wreath, reimagined to include birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations, provides an intentional way to walk through life’s seasons with Jesus Christ at the center.
- The center spiral: Perfect for counting down to birthdays, anniversaries, the end of the school year, and more.
- The Advent extension: With 15 additional days and the beautiful figure of Mary on the donkey, inscribed with Luke 1:32, it becomes an ideal countdown for Advent, leading to the celebration of Christ’s birth.
- The Lent extensions: These add 40 days, with a cross-bearing Jesus figurine engraved with Isaiah 53:5, creating a centerpiece for a Lent full of intentionality and contemplation.
To use the Cradle-to-Cross Wreath, arrange it to the desired length, marking each day with a candle or another symbol, such as a paper flower or butterfly, to reflect the season’s significance.
You can also mark the 40 days from Easter to Jesus’ Ascension, visually counting the days until the Savior was taken up to Heaven.
Our hope is that celebrating all of life’s holy moments with this unique heirloom will root your celebrations in Christ, fostering cherished family faith memories year after year. May the Cradle-to-the-Cross Wreath bless your family as deeply as it has blessed ours.
