A Pierced Relief Carving
The anchor is an emblem of a well grounded hope and a
well-spent life.
It is emblematic of
that Anchor which shall safely moor us in a peaceful Harbor where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary shall find rest.
The Saint Andrew Cross in the background is a reminder
of the humility exhibited by St. Andrew upon his crucifixion and also our
continued support of one another as we face our futures together in St. Andrew's Parish.
“Saint Andrew mot us speed.”
(The
battle cry & prayer of the Battle of Bannockburn. 1318 AD)
