One of these objects names a set of kombologia-inspired Lutheran prayer beads popularized in the 1990s. Johann Wickern used a wagon wheel to construct a now-ubiquitous type of these objects while teaching at a mission school. A devotional pattern poem shaped like one of these objects presents one “of deservèd praise” and is by George Herbert.

They’re not made of ribbon or metal, but these objects often decorate the tops of maypoles. (10[1])In many churches, one of these objects in the chancel accumulates four (-5[1])or five purple, rose, or white candles during Advent. For 10 points, name these circular ornaments used to decorate doors during Christmas, (10[2])usually made from evergreen or holly. (10[1])■END■ (10[4])
