9G Task 2
Visit the VoiceThread site. Click on the “sign in” button at the top right of the page, then choose register. You will be asked for three things: name (do not use your last name), email address and password. This will set up a new account and you will be ready to add comments. Today you will be adding comments by typing them in; at home you could record them.
Visit the VoiceThread below; for each image, finish the sentence “When I see this picture, I think …” Remember, you are thinking about how artists have represented the Holy Spirit over time. Do you think these images help you to think of what the Holy Spirit is like?

i think the pigeon represents freedom and peace..and the flames represent the love that
God has 4 us.

I like that idea that the dove could also represent freedom as well as peace … What freedom does being a Christian give someone?

I think the symbol of the dove symbolises that the holy spirit brings peace and tranquility.In the old testament after the flood, Noah sent a dove to see if the flood was over.The dove brings peace just like the holy spirit does. It could also symbolise freedom, when a bird i.e a dove flys it is because of freedom. After the holy came upon the discliples they were free to go forth and proclaim the word of GOD which is why the image of a dove would be a good representation of the holy spirit.

Thanks, Temi, for your excellent clarification of the sense of freedom – and perhaps courage – that the disciples were given when they received the Holy Spirit.
What about the other symbols for the Holy Spirit (you can see them by pressing the forward arrow)?
