The Chrismon - Holy Trinity

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.

This Chrismon stands for the Holy Trinity. God is one God, but there are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. All three persons were present when Jesus was baptized, and they are all present when we are baptized today.

All three sides of the triangle are the same length and all three angles of the corners are the same. This shows that the three persons of God are all equal. Not one of them is more important than the other. All three sides are joined together to form one. This shows the unity of the Trinity.

This triangle has three circles woven into it. This is called the trefoil and also stands for the three persons of the Holy Trinity.
