Childhood Chrismon Memories
One Sunday early in December, our teachers announced that we would be working on a special project for our church – we were going to help create Chrismon ornaments. As children we laughed, thinking the teachers were mispronouncing the word Christmas, but no, the teachers explained that Chrismon is a Latin word meaning Christ’s monogram. It was used by early Christians to share their faith. The Chrismons were to be made of gold and white materials – gold for God’s glory and white for God being the Light of the World.
