"Symbols of Christ" - Heirloom Ornament Advent Calendar

This "Symbols of Christ" advent calendar has 12 heirloom ceramic ornaments.

Each ornament highlights an event in Christ’s life in chronological order, starting with Day One: Jesus’ birth and ending on Day Twelve: His Resurrection and Ascension.

On the front of each ornament is a painting of a flower or plant native to where Jesus lived, serving as a symbol of a corresponding event such as His baptism or the Last Supper.

On the backside is the name of the flower or plant, the event it symbolizes, and a series of scriptures that teach about this part of Jesus’ life.

Each ornament is individually packaged in a small box, making every day a delightful “surprise.” Each ornament comes with a description card that shares more about the event in the Savior’s life and its symbolism.

I thoughtfully designed these ornaments to be used beyond the Christmas season. The folk-art style is festive in nature yet transitions beautifully into Spring and Easter. The carefully curated color palette complements a variety of interior styles and remains timeless.

This advent calendar is excellent for all ages:

• For Children: It creates opportunities to learn about Jesus and the significant events in His life and ministry.
• For Families: It fosters meaningful discussions and moments of reflection about Jesus beyond “Christmas Day.”
• For Missionaries: This advent calendar blends Christ-centered décor with a fun and engaging activity to share with companions, converts, or investigators.
• For Individuals: It deepens one’s relationship with Christ through daily scripture study and spiritual reflection.

Make this Christmas Christ-centered with a new, meaningful tradition that will be cherished for years to come.
