What Are The Symbols Of The Holy Ghost?
“The five symbols of the Holy Ghost are: dove, oil, cloud, water, and fire.” Catholic art frequently shows the Holy Ghost as a dove or as tongues of fire, as in many beautiful pictures of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost descended on the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Frequently a cloud, water or some depiction of oil is also used. Oil is more often a verbal symbol as in speaking of the strength Confirmation confers. Remember, the base word to Confirmation is “firm”. Learn these symbols easily with St. Anne’s Helper Audio Confirmation Catechism CDs and Catechism Copybooks!
