Resurrection's New Church
Simplicity and Symbolism
The exterior of the new church was (is) a modified Gothic design with deceiving simplicity. The clean lines and arches offer little hint at the lofty ceiling and complicated symbolism one finds inside. The two most prominent decorative features of the church are the rose window over the main entrance and the colorful mural of the Resurrection behind the altar.


As one approaches the church entrance, you will notice, over the right side door, a lighted candle representing Christ, the Light of the world, whose mission is continued and perpetuated by His Church. Over the left side door there is an open Bible signifying divine revelation, manifested to us by Jesus, the Savior, and proclaimed by His Church.


In the coming weeks we will look more closely at the specific features of the inside of the Church, the Windows, arches, etc.
