Chrismons
Chrismons are symbols from Christian history which depict our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Done in white and gold to symbolize the purity, perfection, majesty and glory of the Son of God, each child will receive a chrismon at St. Mark's.

This Year's Chrismon:  The Three Entwined Circles
This year’s chrismon, created by the ladies of St. Mark’s, is the Three Entwined Circles.  This is the symbol for the unity of Holy Trinity, one God in three Persons, each eternal, All One. (John 5:7).
