Seashell-Lenten Observations 2023

The conclusion of our Lenten Observations Podcast series with Pastor Suzan Hawkinson shares the significance of the seashell in a biblical context. An ancient Christian symbol, the seashell was used in the first century to mark the graves of those who trusted in Christ. These markings included a shell with three drops of water flowing off it, signifying the person was baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the ancient Church Easter was traditionally the celebration of baptizing newly converted Christians. As in baptism, whatever was before is gone and buried. Because Christ lives, we begin anew as Easter people.

The theme for the Lenten season at FPCD is Jesus the God Who Knows My Name.
