Two new mosaics at the main door of St Chrysostom's Church Image were erected in 2014. Children from Year 6 (this year’s leavers) from both St Chrysostom’s and St John’s schools helped with the design and the construction of the mosaics, guided by Angie, a local mosaicist and community artist. Those helping were of different world faiths – it was an inter faith effort. https://stchrysostoms.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/welcoming-mosaics/ The mosaic, on the right hand side, emphasises things that unite us in our spiritual values – Love, Hope and Joy. The dove, a symbol used by the church and St Chrysostom's school, reminds us of the dove of peace in the story of Noah. The bees symbolise the industry of Manchester and are also a symbol of St John Chrysostom, Candles are a sign of hope and prayer and the roses and the hand and heart symbolise love for our homes and world.
