Minnesota Marriage Video 2: Dear St. Michael’s Parishioners and Friends in Christ, We are pleased to share the next message from Minnesota for Marriage with you. Simply open the link to the Minnesota Marriage Minute.  Each week a new short video will be released. The most important thing to know at this point is that if you leave your ballot blank, in other words are undecided on this issue, your omission will count as a “no” vote. Please get educated and decide in favor of marriage. VOTE YES! Then help spread the word. Thank you.

Question of the Week:

What does the P and X  symbol on the tabernacle mean? What appears as a “P” and an “X” on the tabernacle are actually the two Greek letters “chi” (X) and “rho” (P). These are the first two letters in the Greek word “Christos” (or Christ).  In the early church this abbreviation was often used in place of the full name: Christ.  Some believe that this originated as an effort among Christians to recognize each other without using the full name: Jesus Christ.  It is also true that such abbreviations were used commonly throughout the Roman Empire. Sometimes, in churches, you will also see the Greek letters “iota” (I), “epsilon” (H) & “sigma” (S) [IHS].  These are the first Greek letters of the word “Iesus” (or Jesus) and are also used as an abbreviation for the full name.
