The Sand Dollar

"With a little reminder that within the tree is the cross."
Fr. Richard A. Watson

The five slits on the edge represent the five wounds on the body of Jesus.

The Easter Lily design in the center of the top with a five pointed star in the center represents the Star of Bethlehem.

On the back is an outline of a Pointsettia, the Christmas Flower.

When the shell is broken open, five small but perfect replicas will be found of the Dove of Peace.

The lesson: While outwardly we show the marks of death, fear and frustration, inwardly we all contain the true symbols of peace.

...for my friends.

Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.

Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1885.
