The Chrismon Tree - Saint Mark's Lutheran Church (Huntsville, Alabama)

We greet you in the name of Jesus - in the peace of His forgiveness, the joy of His love, the strength of His power and the hope of His promises.

Our tree is decorated with symbols which tell the story of God's plan for our salvation, that through faith in Jesus Christ, we have abundance and eternal life.

The name CHRISMON come from CHRIS = Christ, and MON = monogram.  They are made in various combinations of symbols and monograms in white and gold to symbolize the purity, majesty, and glory of the Son of God.

The symbols of the CROSS remind us of our Lord's saving work of redeeming mankind through His sacrifice for our sins, thereby bringing forgiveness and salvation.

We hope that these symbols will remind you of God's greatest gift to us all, Jesus Christ.
