What is a “simple sign”? • A direct, abstract object that only has one possible interpretation or meaning.
• “RED” is a sign for the color, but we could USE RED to symbolize something else (like the blood of the martyrs or the fire of the Holy Spirit.)
What is a Symbol?Something visible, concrete, or observable through the senses (can be touched, seen, heard, smelled, etc.)
THAT REPRESENTS
Something invisible or abstract (emotion or idea)
SYMBOLS • Definition: used to convey deeper meanings than simple signs. Symbols by nature can never be confined to narrow, onedimensional meanings.
• They have the following three characteristics
Qualities of symbols • Symbols have more than one meaning
• What symbols stand for is connected to what they are materially. (Ex: Water can symbolize life because it is necessary to live. It can also symbolize death. Why?)
• Symbols evoke more than one kind of response from us.
Sign Symbol Ritual.notebook October 19, 2012
What are our responses to symbols?
• We use our thought process, yes, but also memory,
• feelings,
• spirit ,
• senses
Natural and Covenant Symbols
• The church uses both in our liturgies and churches.
• Covenant Symbols refer to Symbols used throughout the history of our faith.
• Examples include:
> Consecrating with oil (King David was )
> Immersion in water (Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea)
> Laying on of hands (Isaac gave his blessing to Jacob.)
Differences between Sign and Symbol
We make up signs and decide for ourselves what they will mean.
Symbols have an inherent meaning that we discover and relate to our experiences
RITUALS• Definition: Symbolic actions that help us concretely, or physically, express our beliefs, values and deepest concerns.
**** A RITUAL IS NOT A ROUTINE ACTIVITY. (like brushing teeth) ****
• Seven Characteristics of rituals:
1. Rituals are repeated actions that have a symbolic or underlying meaning.
2. Involve movement, gestures, and (sometimes) words that communicate a message
3. Rituals require participation to be meaningful.
4. Rituals are part of a communal experience.
5. Rituals are often tied to important, key moments celebrated in our lives.
6. Rituals often link us to our past.
7. Rituals often use particular symbols with the gesture or movement.
