B1 - Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments - God gave these laws to Moses on two tablets of stone.  These are rules that God wants us to follow in order to make our lives holy. (Exodus 19-20)

The three leaf clover (shamrock) is a symbol of the Holy Trinity - the mystery of our one God in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.   (1 Timothy 3:16)

The holly, because of its thorny leaves and red berries, is symbolic of Christ’s crown of thorns and blood.  (John 19:2)Legend tells us that it was the tree used for Jesus’ cross.

The ivy, because it is evergreen, is a symbol of eternal life.  Because it clings as it grows, it reminds us to cling to Jesus in order to grow in holiness.  (Psalm 136)
