2.7 Interpreting statues of Jesus

• What aspects of the "Sacred Heart" tell Christians?

  • Crown of Horns - Jesus' suffering
  • Holes in hands - Where Jesus was nailed to the cross
  • Hand pointing to his heart:
  • Burning Heart - Shows Jesus' eternal love
  • Hole in his heart - Symbolises the piercing into his side from the soldier after he died on the cross
