This booklet is only the beginning of, we hope, a journey. Each year we hope to add more and different Chrismons. The following information is very brief and contains just some of the symbols and their meaning. All of the Chrismons are made in either white or gold or in a combination of the two colors. In our culture, it is the color of joy.
Scripture often uses white to portray purity and equates it with light to denote completeness.
Different forms of the cross point to various aspects of our Savior s work. While the leg of the Latin Cross is longer than the arms, all parts of the Greek cross are equal. The balanced form, more adaptable in design, was widely used by early Greeks. When the edges of the Greek Cross are emphasized, four Greek Gammas appear. The circle may represent the sun or eternity.
