  • Chrismon Booklet | East Liberty Presbyterian Church
    CHRISMONS East Liberty Presbyterian Church 116 South Highland Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15206-3985 CHRISMONS The word “Chrismon” is a combination of the words “Christ” and “monogram”. The word Chrismon has been adopted to refer to special Christmas tree ornaments that have been developed to display symbols of Christ. The designs of the Chrismons has over the years been extended to represent symbols of Christianity. All the ornaments are done in white and gold. In 1957 Chrismon ornaments were made and displayed on a Christmas tree at the Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Danville, Virginia. Through this church patterns were made available, and the idea of having a Chrismon tree has spread. Over the years more ornaments have been developed so that now a Chrismon may be a monogram, a sign, a symbol, a type, or a combination of such figures. The only requirement is that it refer primarily to Christ and God. The Eight Pointed Star symbolizes regeneration through Baptism. The Triquetra and Circle. The endless circle suggests eternity. The triquetra—the figure composed of three separate and equal arcs— symbolizes the One God who showed himself to man in three separate and distinct persons. Christogram with Cross, Cho Rho, Triangle and M. The Chi Rho, Cross and Triangle are familiar sym- bols of Christ and the Trinity, M is the monogram for his mother, Mary, which suggests His humanity. The Fleur-De-Lis is the conventionalized form of the lily, the flower of the virgin Mary, and the symbol of the annunciation of Jesus. The Five-Pointed Star is the great symbol of the Epiphany; the star that led the three wise men to the nativity.

  • Chrismon Patterns
    CHRISMON PATTERNS Chrismons are special ornaments hung on Christmas trees and used in decorations that remind us of the true meaning of the Christmas season and point us to the Christ child. Chrismon means “monogram of Christ” and represents Jesus Christ - his life, ministry, nature and teaching. Directions for making Chrismons: Patterns can be reduced or enlarged, depending on the size you want to create. Generally, the ornaments are made from white felt, cardboard or foam, which can be purchased at stores that carry craft supplies. Two layers of felt could be sewn together and filled with quilt batting. The shapes can be decorated with gold trim, beads or sequins. Chrismon Symbolism: Alpha and Omega: The first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet are used in this Chrismon to signify that Christ is the beginning and ending of all things. This is mentioned in the Bible in Revelation 1:8. Anchor cross: The anchor cross originated in ancient Egypt and was adapted by the early Christians in the catacombs. Bell: A bell is often used to call people to worship. This Chrismon symbolizes the sounding forth of God's word and serves as a reminder that God should have first priority in our lives. Budded cross: The Budded Cross is symbolic of the young Christian who has just begun serving Christ. Like a bud, young believers are considered "immature Christians." Butterfly: The butterfly is a symbol of Christ's resurrection and eternal life. Just as the butterfly emerges from its cocoon and flies upward with a new body, the followers of Jesus Christ are reborn and given a new life.

  • Christian Symbols
    Christian Symbols One of the requirements that we have at The Catholic Cemeteries is that a Christian symbol is part of every memorial. What are possible symbols that fit into the category? The following symbols are those that are used most often. Dove The dove is traditionally seen as a sign of peace, especially when carrying an olive branch. It is also a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Water Water is a symbol of baptism and new life. In Baptism we die to sin and rise to new life in Christ. Butterfly Butterflies are a symbol of new life. They begin as caterpillars, make a cocoon for themselves and through a transformative process, metamorphosis, emerge as butterflies. They are a symbol of our transformation from death into new life. Cross The cross is a universal symbol for the Christian faith and a reminder of Christ’s death and resurrection. There are many types of crosses that have been used throughout history, many having regional/ethnic origins. Fleur De Lis The fleur de lis is an age old symbol for the lily, a sign of the resurrection. The whiteness and purity of the lily is said to represent Mary, the mother of Jesus. The three petals also represent the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Christograms are all monograms for Jesus’ name IHS: These letters are the shortened form of the Greek spelling of Jesus IH: This monogram is comprised of the first letter of Jesus (I) and the first letter of Christ (X) using the Greek spelling: These are often overlaid on top of each other.

  • Christian Symbolism
    Christian symbolism Christian symbolism is the use of symbols, including archetypes, acts, artwork or events, by Christianity. It invests objects or actions with an inner meaning expressing Christian ideas. The symbolism of the early Church was characterized by being understood by initiates only,[1] while after the legalization of Christianity in the Roman Empire during the 4th-century more recognizable symbols entered in use. Christianity has borrowed from the common stock of significant symbols known to most periods and to all regions of the world.[2] Christianity has not generally practiced Aniconism, or the avoidance or prohibition of types of images, even if the early Jewish Christians sects, as well as some modern denominations, preferred to some extent not to use figures in their symbols, by invoking the Decalogue's prohibition of idolatry. Contents Early Christian symbols Cross and crucifix Ichthys Alpha and Omega Staurogram Chi Rho IH Monogram IX Monogram Other Christian symbols The Good Shepherd Dove Peacock Pelican Anchor Shamrock Elemental symbols Lily crucifix Tomb paintings Symbols of Christian Churches Sacraments Icons See also References External links Early Christian symbols Cross and crucifix The shape of the cross, as represented by the letter T, came to be used as a "seal" or symbol of Early Christianity by the 2nd century.[3] At the end of the 2nd century, it is mentioned in the Octavius of Minucius Felix, rejecting the claim by detractors that Christians worship the cross.[4] The cross (crucifix, Greek stauros) in
