How have these artists depicted the symbols of Pentecost?
The Symbols of Pentecost
Wind:
the breath of life which picks up seeds and scatters them to be reborn;
at time gently soothes us and at other times is strong and powerful;
it travels on a journey like us as it travels from tree top to tree top;
is everywhere, all around us;
we can’t see it, but know it’s there;
it stirs us at times;
it dances;
it is mysterious.
Fire:
the fire of Pentecost doesn’t bring death and destruction, but new life just like the new life in the bush after a bushfire;
like fire, the Holy Spirit ignites and transforms us;
like fire, the Spirit of the Lord gives light and warmth;
the fire of Pentecost symbolises the fire of Jesus death which embraces the spirit of love and forgiveness.
Dove:
the dove is a symbol of peace and hope and is representative of new beginnings
