| An illustration of Noah's Ark that suggests dimension. |
Although, Christians have often used ships to symbolize the larger Christian Church, Noah's ark in particular is most often used in temples and churches to represent "the preservation of God's creation." This is because the ark as a vessel was built for that very purpose...to insure that a small portion of God's created animals and people were saved from the great flood or God's judgement. What does this have to do with Christmas, you might ask? Well, Jesus is frequently referred to by Christians as the ark of Salvation from death!

| Similar to the arc symbol, but different, is the ark illustrated during a storm. This subtle difference changes the symbol into a ''Deluge'' reference. Symbolic for a period of testing and trouble. |
