To provide a physical reminder of the
prayers and love surrounding an individual.
"Shawls...have been made for
centuries, universal and embracing, symbolic
of an inclusive, unconditionally loving,
God. They wrap, enfold, comfort,
cover, and give solace. They mother,
hug, shelter and comfort. We pray that
those who receive a prayer shawl are
uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to
fly above their troubles...into the
compassionate care of our Lord!"
The color's used in these shawls are
meaningful with each representing a
different characteristic.
