A Chrismon is one of number of Christian symbols intended to represent aspects of the Person, life or ministry of Jesus Christ and the life, ministry or history of the Church through a single image. The word Chrismon comes from the Latin phrase "Christi Monogramma" which means "monogram of Christ" The P is sometimes shaped to look like a shepherds crook and the X to look like a cross symbolizing the "Good Shepherd" of his flock who are his followers. I think I could of done better on creating my mosaic I got distracted and had troubles finishing all of it in time. I think it would have been very hard to make a gigantic one of these on a church wall as a mosaic it would have been very hard and would leave no room for mistakes. Considering they had very little supplies as we do nowadays than back than.
