Have you seen this picture
on the font?
(clue:look around the back)
Do you know what it is?
Sunday June 16th was Trinity
Sunday
This celebrates God as
Father, Son & Holy Spirit - three in one
(Tri for three - think of triplets,
triangles, & Unity)
This carving is in Latin, the language
that would have been used by the early Christians when they
worshipped here.
Pater = Father, Filius = Son, Spiritus = Spirit
Deus (in the centre) = God
The circle joining the three arms says 'non est' = 'is not'
& the 3 arms into the centre say 'est' = 'is'
This explains that the Father, Son & Holy Spirit are
different, but that all 3 are God.
One way of trying to explain it could be to think of a Mars
bar - the three layers of chocolate, caramel & soft nougat
are all different, but a Mars bar is not a Mars bar unless
all three different parts are together.
Also on the font is a carving of a
very well known bible story - do you know which one?
