Marriage

The symbol chosen for marriage is the cross with two rings depicting both God's blessing of marriage through the wedding band - an unending circle - and Christ's marriage to the church.  The external flame of God's love burns brightly in heaven as on earth.  The two flames depicted in the bottom panel become one as two lives unite in marriage.  The doves to either side of the flame are representative of the Holy Spirit as He blesses the union.
