Fire or Flame and Heart with Quote Pentecost Ceramic Ornament

“Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.” Thus begins one of the most well-known Roman Catholic prayers to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. Our image here illustrating the passage is a pastiche in a minimalist style of a tongue of fire or flame and a heart. + Fire is rich in religious (and secular) meaning. In the Old Testament, fire can indicate the presence of God as in the burning bush (Exodus 3:2). In the New Testament, fire is most often equated with the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16, Acts 2:2-4, etc.) and is associated with the Feast of Pentecost and the Sacrament of Confirmation. In more general terms, fire serves in Christianity as a symbol of purification, enlightenment, and Divine Love. + The choice is yours whether to add a colourful background to the item or to leave it as is! If you opt for colour, pastels will work best: soft peaches, yellows, blues, or greens. + See also our related Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Flames) COLLECTION. + Image Credit (Flame): Our flame is an adaptation of Seguir’s Incêndio Chama Perigo from Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/pt/vectors/incêndio-chama-perigo-queimar-luz-307384/)
