Holly had been an integral part of early English folklore. It easily made the transition with its sharply pointed leaves symbolizing the crown-of-thorns and the red berries symbolizing the drops of Christ's blood. The tradition of hanging a holly wreath on the door at Christmas began during the 17th Century and signified a home that celebrated the birth of Christ.
As you see holly this holiday see, please remember that it not only signifies Christmas and the joy of the birth of Christ, but also reminds us of the gift of the shedding of his blood. Every drop of his blood that was shed had purpose. Recognize its value and receive his precious gift available to you this Christmas.
