Menggantung hijau

Barangan seperti Chrismon/pokok Krismas dan karangan bunga Advent diletakkan di dalam gereja semasa upacara menggantung hijau

Upacara menggantung hijau ialah upacara Kristian Barat di mana banyak jemaah dan orang ramai menghiasi gereja mereka, serta bangunan lain (seperti YWCA atau universiti), dengan Hiasan Kedatangan dan Krismas.[1][2][3] Ini dilakukan pada atau terus sebelum mula musim Adven, sebagai persediaan untuk Minggu Krismas.[4]khidmat melibatkan penempatan tumbuh-tumbuhan malar hijau di paroki.[5] Barangan seperti kalungan malar hijau, dalam agama Kristian, membawa simbol agama kehidupan kekal, konsep teologi dalam kepercayaan itu.[5][6][7] Oleh itu, semasa liturgi, "Petikan Alkitab dan bacaan lain membantu menjelaskan kepentingan holly, cedar, karangan bunga Advent, Pokok Krismon, dan sebarang hiasan khas lain".[8][9]Pokok Krismas kerap didirikan semasa menggantung hijau, walaupun kadangkala dibiarkan kosong sehingga Malam Krismas.[10]

The Hanging of the Greens became an annual Christmas event beginning in 1930, as did the presentation of Handel's Messiah. Departmental clubs and those based on students' region of origin had large memberships and attendance. Moreover, the administration encouraged students to attend church, and a few "chapel" programs each year were given over to religion.CS1 maint: unrecognized language (link)

From the earliest days of Christianity, the evergreen wreath has always been an emblem of eternal life and God's faithfulness to all humanity. Holly, with its green leaves, its prickly points, and its red berries, suggested that the Child born in the manger would wear a crown of thorns and shed drops of blood. Mistletoe, long associated in the pre-Christian world with healing, became a symbol of the healing power of Christ.CS1 maint: unrecognized language (link)

Most Presbyterian churches are decorated, to one degree or another, for the season at least a couple of weeks in advance of Christmas. A Service that is helpful in giving some meaning to the decorations that adorn our places of worship, as well as providing an excuse to sing Christmas carols at least once during the course of Advent, is a service for the hanging of the greens.CS1 maint: unrecognized language (link)
