The symbols for the
Holy Spirit.
The symbols for the Holy Spirit are;
Wind, Fire, Breath and Dove. The Church has used symbols as a silent language;
a 'talking picture' in days when kings were illiterate and when printing was an
undreamt concept. The catacombs of Rome are the great store-houses of early
Christian symbols. But we have here in the parish a very significant symbol-
The Pelican. The Pelican is a symbol of Christ in the Blessed Eucharist. The
bird has a crimson stain on its beak and people believed that, while really
pruning its feathers, it was feeding its nestlings with blood drawn from its
own breast. This particular symbol is on the base of the tabernacle in Carrickatubber.
