THE CHRISMON TREE
The word “Chrismon” is a combination of the words “Christ” and “monogram”, depicted as symbols of Christ. The colors of gold and white reflect His majesty and purity. Among these symbols are six Resurrection Butterflies placed in memory of Miriam Voigt, Judy Hinrichs, Leland Bailey, Sally Williams, Billie Kirkman and John Lindler; those Saints who’ve gone before us and now rest eternally with our Lord and Savior.
