PASCAL
CANDLEYEAR OF GRACE
This years Pascal Candle uses the logo from the Year of Grace as its
focal point. This was chosen as we enter into Year of Grace at
Pentecost. According to their websites (
www.yearofgrace.catholic.org.au) "There is
no one symbol or message that the Year of Grace logo is intended to
convey. It is a bright and stylish image which, in looking at it, has
many significant symbols and connections that can be drawn:
- The cross and The Sun
- A star-Burst and Light
- A circle that represents the infinity of God
- The halo incorporating a cross that surrounds the head of Jesus
in Eastern iconography
- The host used at Mass
- The monstrance used in Eucharistic adoration
- A link with the artistic tradition of our indigenous people
- The earthen, ochre colours of Australia
- A diversity of peoples and cultures, gathered into one community
"
The image was used with the permission of the Year
of Grace Committee.
