This is a truly beautiful and excellent Christian Mandala.  It is saturated with Christian symbols.  The basic structure is a large central circle with eight surrounding petals.  Note how Christ is fully rendered in the center commanding the largest amount of area.  The surrounding petals are much smaller and rely […]

                      In this section we are interested in the eight areas where the circles do not overlap one another.  These are the semi-triangular shapes that look like the head of some sort of cutting instrument and reside at the extreme […]
