Pentecost Banner by Lois Prahlow

Pentecost Banner designed by Lois Prahlow. Jpg. not for republishing.
 Original Banner 11 ft. across, made with felts.

        The colors used on the Pentecost banner help create a warm mood. Nine flames represent the gifts listed in gold on the edge of the banner: wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, interpretation (1 Corinthians 12: 8-10). The nine bunches of grapes symbolize fruit of the Spirit and are written white on the banner’s edge: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5: 22-23). The use of the vine and grape motif also suggests Jesus’ words, “I am the Vine; you are the branches. Abide in me and bear much fruit (John 15).” article and design by Lois Prahlow
