The Chrismon - Manger

OUR LIFE IN CHRIST story: Through Holy Baptism, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we are brought to faith in Jesus our Lord and Savior, who redeemed us, by His death on the cross, through His Word, and the Sacrament of Holy Communion, and in regular worship we are strengthened until that great day when we shall rise to eternal life with the King of Kings.

Our next Chrismon shows us where Jesus was born, in a manger in Bethlehem.

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her first born, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:6

The circle on top of the manger is called a nimbus. It means that Jesus was holy. He never did anything wrong. He never sins. He had to be perfect to take away our sins.
