During Advent, many churches display Christmas trees decorated with Christian symbols called "chrismons." The name comes from the Latin phrase Christi Monogramma, which means monogram of Christ.

Most Chrismons are made of wood or plastic foam, and they can be handmade or purchasedatChristiansupplystores.

The symbols, which represent aspects of Jesus' life and ministry, include stars, angels, keys, doves, boats and various types of crosses.
