Symbols of Christ
The Lamp
The Symbols of the burning lamp appears in the history of our salvation for the first time in Abraham's vision, when at sunset a trance came upon him and a great and gloomy terror seized upon him, and he saw, in the thick darkness, a smoking furnace and a burning torch passing between the pieces of the sacrifice.
Note: All of these symbols can be seen on the outside walls of the Hesburgh Library.
