The art and craft of Chrismon (Christ Monogram) making is being revived across America. It is a simple skill that involves beadwork to form special hand made Christmas ornaments that are not only beautiful, but may be used to teach children about the Lord Jesus Christ.
The women of Countryside have been scheduling classes to teach the craft. Please check our events calendar for scheduled dates.
Below are just a few examples of the work that's finished so far!

The Celtic Cross
When St. Patrick became the first missionary to Ireland, he discovered that many in Ireland worshipped the sun. He used the cross of Jesus, superimposed over the sun, to teach the Irish of Christ's supremacy.
