Beautiful Butterfly Christmas Ornaments

ElizabethJeanAllen by ElizabethJeanAllen

A Symbol of Birth and Renewal

Butterflies are beautiful but fragile creatures. I like to believe that they are symbols of birth and a renewal of hope. A butterfly transforms from caterpillar into a cocoon. After a time the seemingly inert and solid cocoon opens revealing a beautiful butterfly.

The Christ Child is hope incarnated into flesh. Like the butterfly, he began his life humbly, but was infused with the power of God.

Add a butterfly to your collection of ornaments as a reminder of the birth of Christ and the hope of life eternal.

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
--Nathaniel Hawthorne

What Do You Think?


Some cultures believe that when a butterfly lands on you, you are destined for a spot of good luck. Other cultures believe that a butterfly is the personification of a person's soul. Two butterflies seen flying together symbolizes love, but a black butterfly hovering near a home is often considered a bad omen. A soul is about to leave the land of the living. It will wing its way to heaven on the wings of a delicate, but beautiful butterfly.


"Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"
........Zhuangz

Do You Have Butterflies on Your Christmas Tree?

    The nice thing about your butterfly Christmas ornaments is that they could be left out all year around to add some jeweled color here and there. Sweetly done!
