Hanging of the Green

Advent begins with the Hanging of the Green service.  Christmas hymns are sung as each area of the Church is decorated: the Lighting of the Candles, the Hanging of the Garland and Wreaths, the Placing of the Poinsettias and the Decoration of the Christmas Tree.   Then each child selects a Crismon (Christmas Monogram) ornament from the tree . . .
