PENTECOST' 2014

 

The twelve small hearts symbolize twelve Apostles. 

Hand united in prayer is symbolic of purity of intention. They are praying with one heart and soul in the Love-of-God. 

The heart with a crown of thorns is the Sacred heart of Jesus — dripping with blood, which HE shed for our salvation. 

The cross is shown in green color — green wood refers to Jesus [For if this is what is done to green wood, what will be done when the wood is dry?’- Luke 23:31 ]

The background is painted with light green to yellow gradient  which is symbolic of their waiting for the Holy Spirit. Like a budding leaf( light green color ) , they were weak, full of anxiety and fear. They were praying for the hope promised by Lord Jesus, so that their weak-willed nature be transformed into a new creation.

The small crosses in the background is symbolic of the prayerful environment. They were praying constantly with one heart for the God's Holy Spirit.

The Spirit is descending  from the Glorious Heaven ,with the tongues of fire producing seven gifts viz. Wisdom; Understanding; Counsel; Fortitude; Knowledge; piety and Fear of God.
