Church Kneeler Cushions
Commemorative 

• commemorative remembrance cross with red poppies 
• Combining cruciform red poppies design to commemorate all this who have given their blood and lost their lives as soldiers and military personnel on the frontline. 
  a Flanders poem by Mc Cree says that " blow between the crosses row on row " is a reference to the flowers that began to bloom between the graves of the fallen soldiers. To this day a poignant sign and so much needed , so we all remember to pass on God's grace and wish the person walking right next to us in the street a generous heartfelt " Peace be with you " 
  
• May 25th is celebrated, or better remembered as National Poppy Day

• And YES " May Peace be with You , always , Dear reader, kind visitor to this place, my little quiet sanctuary on the web. 

• This is an interesting church kneeler design which looks to me like a commemorative wedding design stitched onto an ecru rustic linen coloured background with a floral border, wedding pales, 3 sets of numbers which I presume indicate dates although I am not quite sure what year or years they represent. a pair of peace doves can be seen holding a set of wedding rings. There are also 3 sets ( Trinity perhaps) of wedding bells with a floral heart decoration. The edging is stitched in small 4 petal flower design.

How to do Bible Study Journaling with Church Kneelers 

How to do bible Study Journaling when finding Church Kneelers with Bible Motifs on Pilgrimage 

• When I come across a bible symbol, motif or biblical scene I don't immediately recognise then I use that as an opportunity for a little impromptu bible study on the road
• I take a photo of the church kneeler pattern and often I carry a simple instant black and white camera with me that prints out a little receipt like picture that I can immediately stick into my bible journal
• I make a note of the motif parts I can identify and perhaps a little sketch of the one I can't. This helps to jog my memory later. Often by drawing a symbol I look closer at the design and might spot something I hadn't noticed at first glance
• If the church kneeler cushion is specific to a particular location, like it shows a patron saint, or a local church emblem or a specific christian healing well etc I try and locate some information in the church history folders often displayed at the entrance to a pilgrimage church, sometimes near their prayer request table or on the noticeboard wall. If it is a more popular pilgrimage destination there is sometimes a little local guidebook available that might have some collage material that could be added to my bible journaling page
• If there is no-one to ask inside the church then I try and google the symbol to learn more when I get back to internet access
