the Chrismon tree page 1 by ric gustafson
In the 1940's at Ascension Lutheran Church in Danville Virginia, an idea was formed. Why nor have a Christmas tree with specific ornaments on it. The ornaments could be created to focus and remember the true meaning of Christmas. The original ornaments made by members of our church was in the 1960's.
1. The Alpha and Omega ornament- Revelation 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end I am the one who is who always was and who is still to come the Almighty one.
2. The Anchor ornament- Hebrews 6:19 We have the hope as an anchor for the soul firm and secure
3. The Bells ornament- Psalm 98:4 Shout for joy to the Lord all the earth burst into jubilant song with music.
4. The Butterfly ornament- II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ the new creation has come the old has gone the new is here
5. The Candle or Lamp ornament- John 8:12 I am the Light of the world if you follow me you won't have to walk in darkness because you will have the light that leads to life.
