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.

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.

The wreath's circle reminds Christians of God's endless love and mercy. The evergreen leaves represent the hope of eternal life brought by Jesus Christ. The candles symbolize the light of God coming into the world through the birth of Jesus Christ.

Biblical passages and other readings help explain the significance of the holly, the cedar, the Advent wreath, the Chrismon tree, and any other special decorations. The Chrismon tree may be lighted for the first time during the service. ... The United Methodist Book of Worship contains a service for the hanging of the greens which, with some minor modifications, works very well in a Presbyterian congregation.

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.
