The Legend of the
Sand Dollar
It is said that Christ left the sand dollar
on Earth 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, is 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.
What is "Sand Dollar" ?
Sand Dollar stories and articles

subjects of a Christian nature. Expect to find accounts of Angels,
Miracles, Acts of Faith, and other "God Things". The

"SandDollar" was chosen
as the name for the new service at the suggestion of Diane Toma, one of our
Starfish members. Subscribers to Sand Dollar are called "Doves"
after the 5 white doves that are released to spread good will and peace
when a sand dollar is broken.
