Chrismans Illuminate Christmas at Two Lutheran Churches
Mt. Calvary Lutheran in De Soto and First Lutheran in Murphysboro display Chrismans on a tree, blending ancient Christ symbols with modern craft. Nearly 90 Chrismans were made since May by church ladies using pearls and gold beads, with services planned for Christmas Eve and a Sunday School program on Sunday. Barbara Fager will explain the symbolism during the late service, as Luther League members participate.
