Alpha and Omega

The school courtyard has had another new addition.  Since the visit from the duck and her ducklings 6 super new stained class windows have been put up by members of the local church.

They show 6 christian symbols beginning with the greek letter alpha and finishing with greek omega - both ways Jesus used to talk about himself.  All 6 symbols are:

• Alpha –  First Letter of the Greek alphabet.
• Cross – Most recognisable symbol of a Christian.
• Rainbow – Sign of keeping promises -God's faithfulness and his promise to never again destroy the earth by flood
• Triquetra – the sign of the trinity.  The Father, Son and Holy Spirit all joined together .  [Also find the fish in the picture!!- another Christian sign]
• Natal Star – Key symbol for the Birth of Christ, also the sign of the cross
• Omega–  Last Letter of the Greek alphabet .

Attached is a document detailing each symbol to view.  The stained glass provides a beautiful addition to an already peaceful courtyard.  Do take a look when next stood at the office desk.

Many thanks to all those invovled in putting these together for us at the school.
