The Shutters

The shutters of the hall windows presented a bleak image to passers by on St Paul's Road and as they were often down gave people the impression that the church was closed.

It was decided to paint them with murals to brighten the streetscene. As there are four shutters we opted to follow the theme of the four seasons with a picture relevant to the particular season.

Winter

A scene showing the nativity.

A traditional crib scene showing the birth
of Jesus

Summer

A picture with refreshing water and a dove. The dove is a symbol of Pentecost

Spring

A scene with three crosses on a hill reminding people of the crucifixion and at the foot of the hill an empty tomb with its stone rolled away

Autumn

A time of harvest so a picture with a bunch of grapes and an ear of corn together with the chalice and wine, symbols of Communion.
