The following is a brief summary of the symbolism found in this most
wonderful mural done by Jill Alane Moore. The mural is readily seen
when entering the CLC.
The triangles and diamonds (which make a
triangle when cut in half) symbolize The Trinity: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. The cross represents God, who is at the center of
everything, and His love for each of us.
The rays stretching and curving show how His
light and love reach out and envelope all his creation. The doves
and olive branches represent peace.
The four circles represent the spiritual, physical, social, and mental
activities that the CLC strives to provide for the children to grow.
This concept comes from
Luke 2: 52 which reads "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor
with God and men." (NIV).
The different races are represented in order to show that God's love shines
on all of us, and that we are all brothers and sisters.
The rainbow rays symbolize spirituality because God's light is white and
pure. White light when passing through a prism fans out into the
colors of the rainbow. Therefore, when Gods' light passes through us
it fans out to reach others.
