Pentecost Banner by Lois Prahlow

Pentecost Banner Design by Liturgical Artist, Lois Prahlow.
 Png. not for redistribution.

        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

How God Shines Through Nature: "As a countenance is made beautiful by the soul’s shining through it, so the world is beautiful as the shining through it of God." Jacobi.
