| Legend of the SandDollar
The markings on the shell of the Sand Dollar symbolize
the birth, crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. On the top side of the shell, an outline of the "Easter Lily" appears. At the center of the lily is a five-pointed star representing the Star of Bethlehem. the five narrow openings symbolize the four nail holes and the spear wound made in the body of Christ during the Crucifixion. Turning a sand dollar over, you can see the outline of the Christmas Poinsettia and also a bell. When broke, inside the shell are five doves of peace" Some say that they are the angels that sang to shepherds on the first Christmas morning. | |
