Uruguay Montevideo Mission Christmas Ornament

Made out of a lightweight and very durable transparent acrylic, these ornaments will not weigh your tree down and can definitely withstand being dropped by the little ones should they get too curious around the tree.  The acrylic is cut into a 4 inch circle and then laser etched with the name of the mission and graphics inspired by the region served.

The design on this ornament is inspired by the Uruguay Flag and depicts the “Sun of May”, the national emblem and representation of Inti, the Incan god of the sun. The sun symbol includes a face and 16 sun rays, alternating between straight and wavy (representing light and heat respectively). The specification as the Sun “of May” is a reference to the May Revolution which took place in the week from 18 to 25 May 1810, which marked the beginning of the independence from the Spanish Empire for the countries that were then part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata.
