New Monogram on Front Doors
Chrismon - monogram of Christ
Chrismon
A chrismon is one of number of Christian symbols intended to represent aspects of the Person, life or ministry of Jesus Christ and the life, ministry or history of the Christian Church through a single image, emblem or monogram. The term “chrismon” comes from the Latin phrase “Christi Monogramma”, meaning “monogram of Christ”. By definition, the literal monogram of Christ is the more commonly named labarum or “Chi Rho”, which is the Greek letters X (“chi”) superimposed upon P (“rho”). Often the P is formed to look like a shepherd’s crook and the X like a cross, symbolizing Jesus Christ as Good Shepherd of his flock, the Christian Church.
The olive branch going up the Chi Rho represent peace and goodwill. This is what Jesus
Christ strived for during his stay on earth and what we need to strive for also.
