    Stopped by here with friends to see the Chrismon tree. The entrance is free, but only on select days/hours (check their website/facebook). Gorgeous sanctuary! Beautiful Christmas/Christmon tree! 18 ft tall and filled with Chrismon ornaments. Kind and helpful docent who explained everything about the tree and the church itself. I especially like the Pelican ornament, a mother pelican feeding her babies with her own blood to keep them fed, and the symbolism it carries. I hope to visit again in future years.
