Noah's ark is the symbol of first baptism. The shell represents
the outpouring of the life of divine grace, while the holy Spirit is
symbolized by a dove.
The large candle beside the font is the Easter candle, or Paschal candle.
It is present to remind us of the light of
Christ.
The box beside the
candle contains the blessed oils used for the sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation and Anointing of the Sick. |
