Mosaic at St Chrysostom's Church (2)
Image: © Gerald England Taken: 1 Sep 2022
One of two mosaics erected on the outside of St Chrysostom's Church Image in 2012. They were designed by the Year 6 children from the primary school. This one is inspired by the tree logo so dear to St John's school. The tree is used here to symbolise harmony and unity and growth. On the tree are symbols of world faiths, expressing a hope to live in harmony. There are also the Olympic rings, in the year of the London Olympics. They too symbolise a hope for peace. A candle is also on the tree, together with prayer ribbons. The children love lighting candles or tying ribbons to the tree when they come to church, as a sign of hope and prayer. The words, chosen by the children, express key words for living together: trust, friendship, happiness, belief. https://stchrysostoms.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/our-new-mosaics/
