Symbols of Christmas: light, tradition and art of Salento

Christmas celebrations are full of symbols, often ignored, but rich in meaning. Knowing them can transform Christmas into a more conscious experience.

Meaning of Christmas symbols:

·       Garlands: born in pagan times to invoke the return of the sun, today they represent the eternal love of God.

·       Christmas tree: Popularized by Martin Luther in the 16th century, decorated with candles to imitate starlight.

·       Star on top: symbol of the star that guided the Three Wise Men to Bethlehem.

·       Christmas lights: represent Jesus as the light of the world.

Lights are the symbol that most unites paganism and Christianity in Christmas. Mariano Light Luminarie transforms them into handcrafted luminous art : an example is the Christmas tree in Piazza Sant'Oronzo in Lecce or the scenography created for the Puglia Village in Molfetta.

Our Christmas creations include:

·       Rosone100: inspired by the rose windows of Apulian churches

·       Rosette Egnazia: geometric and vegetal motifs of the ancient city of Egnazia

·       Rosette Margherita Antica: a tribute to Gothic architecture

A perfect furnishing symbol for:

·       Houses

·       Gardens

·       Commercial spaces

Discover the magic of Christmas with the handcrafted lights by Mariano Light.
