The Hanging of the Greens is a special service that marks the beginning of the Advent season. During this time, we decorate the sanctuary and church with evergreens, wreaths, candles, and other symbols of the season to prepare our space and hearts for the coming of Christ. Each decoration carries meaning, reminding us of God’s promise of life and renewal.Evergreens represent eternal life, the wreath’s circular shape reflects God’s unending love, and the lights and candles remind us that Christ is the Light of the World.
One of the most meaningful parts of this service is decorating the Christmas tree with Chrismons, which are white and gold ornaments made from ancient Christian symbols. The word Chrismon comes from “Christ monogram.” Each design represents an aspect of Jesus’ life, ministry, or identity—such as the cross, fish, crown, or shepherd’s staff. The white symbolizes purity and the gold represents majesty and glory. By hanging Chrismons on the tree, we celebrate the story of Christ and declare Him as the true reason for the season.
