December Holiday 8

Our church had its annual "Hanging of the Greens" today. I assisted with the Crismons, ornaments which are Christian symbols. These beautiful ornaments were made by some of the women in our church a long long time ago, but they still sparkle and shine just like silver and gold.

Beautifully adorned Christmas tree, Ann. Great shot . You did a good job with the decorations.

[Netkonnexion]

Nice work. Cool shot.

[Allison Williams]

We have such a tree in our sanctuary. Since I usually attend the less formal early service in the Fellowship Hall, I have not yet seen our Chrismon tree. Next Sunday we have a combined service at 11 in the sanctuary to see the Sunday School Pageant, and I look forward to seeing this sign of the season. Your composition is lovely and festive.

Very nice shot of a nicely decorated tree. It looks like a lot of work went into the decorations as well as decorating the tree itself. Well captured, Ann!

[Tanja Carda]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@tanja_1211 Thank you Tanja!

[summerfield]

beautiful! the old ornaments can compete with the nouveau ones, as far as i'm concerned, especially it they're handmade, you know there is love somewhere in the seams.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Thanks Vikki- these are pretty special to the folks who've been in our church for a long while. Some were made by ladies who have passed on, so they're not only symbolic, but a piece of the church's history too.

[Wendy Bowden]

Lovely tree

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@wenbow Thanks Wendy! It has really brightened up the sanctuary- but it's been put away until next Christmas now.
