History of the wreath
Ancient Egypt
The wreath in ancient Egypt was most popular by sewing flowers to linen bands and tying them around the head of statues of their gods.
Ancient Greece
In ancient Greece, wreaths, usually made of laurel, were awarded to athletes victorious in the Olympic Games.
Renaissance Era
During the Renaissance period, young lovers would hang wreaths on their lovers’ doorways as a sign of affection.
England
In Victorian England, a floral wreath sometimes surrounded the chair of the guest of honor at a banquet.
Religious meaning
Wreaths have traditionally had a religious significance: in 18th-century Mexico, nuns wore wreaths on their heads to signify joy on the day they professed their religious vows; the advent wreath with four candles is a Christian symbol of the four Sundays preceding Christmas.
The displaying of a decorative Christmas wreath, usually of holly leaves and berries, is a custom found in northern Europe, the United States, and Canada.
