1994 Christmas Eve in the Church, Bing & Grondahl Centennial plate
The motif of this 1994 Bing & Grondahl
Christmas Centennial plate is the same as
the motif of the 1968 Bing & Grondahl
Christmas plate. In 1895 Bing & Grondahl
started the first series of Christmas plates
in the world. To celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the Bing & Grondahl Christmas
plate series, which took place in 1995, Bing
& Grondahl issued The Centennial Collection
which comprises five plates. This plate is
the fourth plate in the Centennial Collection.
The motif of the plate is Christmas in
Church which was designed by Henry Thelander.
The plate depicts the Danish Christmas
tradition of going to churh in the afternoon
of December 24th, before the families
gather to eat their Christmas dinner. After
dinner, families go around the Christmas
tree, singing Christmas carols.
The 1994 Bing & Grondahl Centennial plate
depicts a Danish church decorated with fur,
and near the alter a Christmas tree with
all its lights.
At the top of the plate you can see a ship.
Numerous Danish churches has such a ship,
nobody knows the exact reason for this,
several different explanations are found,
but presumably this tradition comes from the
fact that so many families in Denmark had
relatives in the who were in the fishing or
sea transport business.
