Ready for the Season by olivetreeann

Ready for the Season

It's been a busy week of writing for me, but my Advent devotions are done!! Last year I used pictures from our stained glass windows. This year the booklet features crismons. Crismons are ornaments that bear Christian symbols. In this case the symbols are meant to ready our hearts and minds to celebrate the birth of Christ and to help tell the Christmas story.
Beautiful

We have a tree decorated with Chrismons in our sanctuary. It is a beautiful way to share the message of Christmas.

@mrssmith Thank you Carla!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick. I think it's more contemporary (like within the last century) but the symbols go all the way back to the days of the early church.

Thank you everyone. We are visiting the grandchildren so my computer time is limited and I might not be able to post pictures for the next few days. But I'll be checking in on your shots when I can. Thanks so much for all the feedback on this shot!
