1 Greenwood Forest Baptist Church Christ the King Hanging of the Green The Hanging of the Green In Isaiah 60:13 we find these words: "The Glory of Lebanon shall come unto you, the fir tree, the pine tree and the box together, to beautify the place of your sanctuary." For many generations, Christians all over the world have participated in a special worship service called the Hanging of the Green where they decorate the sanctuary as a way to prepare the church and their own hearts for the seasons of Advent and Christmas. The most striking and universal feature of this service has been the use of evergreens as decorations. Among ancient Romans, evergreens were an emblem of peace, joy, and victory. However, the early Christians placed them in their windows to indicate that Christ had entered the home. Holly and ivy, along with pine and fir, are called evergreens because they never change color. They are ever-green, everalive, even in the midst of winter. They symbolize the unchanging nature of our God, and they remind us of the everlasting life that is ours through Christ even in the midst of the death and darkness of winter. It is our hope that every time you enter the sanctuary during the next few weeks that the visible presence of the light, the Chrismons and the greenery will remind you of the glory and the grace of the one on whom we patiently wait to come during this holy and sacred season. Sunday, November 20, :00 am
