As you traverse the two Campuses, no matter what the season, you can almost always find a wreath to enjoy. The first written records show that wreaths date back to the ancient Greeks and Romans at around 150 BC, when members of society would wear wreaths as headdresses. Spring and summer wreaths are reported to mean new life and growth. Autumn wreaths mean the changing of time and can also represent abundance and the harvest.
Over time, Christmas wreaths have come to convey a meaning of “welcome” and “Christmas spirit.” Early Christians used materials that represent certain ideas like evergreens that represent immortality of the soul, pinecones for rebirth and holly to represent strength. It appears safe to say that no matter the season, or cultural background, wreaths say welcome to all.
