K1 - Christian Banner
Tracy Sands
The halo (nimbus) is a zone of light. It is a circle, square or triangle, placed behind the head of a holy person. It denotes great dignity, power and holiness.
The banner is a symbol of victory over death won by Christ. The red cross symbolizes Christ’s blood, shed for us. The white symbolizes purity and peace. The banner is also attributed to military saints and those who carry the gospel to foreign places.
The church represents the body of Christ on earth, us, all Christian people. (1 Corinthians 12:12-29) Jesus said, “This is how all will know you for my disciples: your love for one another” (John 13:35)Christ is the head of the body/the church. (Ephesians4:4-5)
