I draw this cross with mass persecution inside the cross as my symbol of the church because this relates

to my self-experience during my younger age (since I grew up in a traditional Christian environment), I

used to put on my best clothes every Sunday and beg my parents for a penny to give into the offering
basket. Despite the fact that church wasn't always interesting for me, I appreciated Sunday school, when
the aunty on duty gave us tales about Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jesus. I saw that as I grew older, the
church became a place where I looked forward to visiting since it was where I met my friends. The
church became a place where I was spiritually nourished, engaged in worship, and participated in
religious dialogues as I developed in faith and began to have a relationship with Christ.
