Symbols on Sunday

Rivers

Used for transportation, agriculture, sustenance, preserving ecosystems, determining boundaries, and cleansing.


Symbol of strength, nourishment, division, and repentance through baptism. For example, in The Fellowship of the Ring, the fellowship must cross a river to reach the safety of the elven land. When Frodo wades through, he remarks that he hasn't felt that clean in a long time. All the dirt and evil of Moria is washed away, and now he can finally get some rest.
