Jesus was fond of using imagery in his parables to tell stories, such as coins and vines. In today's church, we now use these same symbols throughout the sanctuary and in worship materials. Each symbol is a beautiful and historical connection to generations of Christians that have worshipped before you. This collection of over 600 hand-drawn Christian symbols by artist and author Edward Riojas will teach you the extensive history of the imagery you see daily. Different variations of the same symbols are included alongside a short explanation to show their evolution. Reconnect with the historic symbolism of the Christian church through this concise and complete collection.
