The Legend of the Sand
Dollar
It is said that Christ left the sand dollar
as a symbol
to help the evangelists
teach the
faith. The five holes
commemorate
the five wounds of
Christ, while
at the center on one side
blooms the
Easter lily, and at the lily's
heart the
star of Bethlehem.
The Christmas
poinsettia is etched on
the other
side, a reminder of Christ's
birth.
According to this legend, if
you break the
center five white
doves will be
released to spread good
will and
peace.
