Ornaments made from Christian symbols (or Chrismons, a contraction for ‘Christ monograms’) were first developed by the women of the Ascension Lutheran Church in Danville, VA, many years ago. Many churches, including St. Andrews,  display a Chrismon tree during the Advent and Christmas season decorated with handmade ornaments.  Our PW started this customs decades ago and continue to this day.
