Chrismons are decorations representing Christian symbols. The word Chrismon is made from two other words: Christ (Chris) and monogram (mon). These signs were originally used by early Christians as a symbol of faith. Over time, more symbols have been added with meaning derived from the Bible or biblical ideas.
A Christmas tradition has grown to decorate an evergreen tree (symbol of God’s constancy) with Chrismons. They are decorated in white (for our Lord’s purity) and gold (for God’s majesty), and used with only white lights representing the light of the world. A Chrismon Christmas tree reflects the true meaning and spirit of Christmas.
