The Legend of the Sand-Dollar- 

"It is said that Christ left the sand dollar as a symbol to help the evangelists teach the faith.

The five holes commemorate the five wounds of Christ, while at the center on one side blooms the Easter lily, and at the lily's heart the star of Bethlehem. 

The Christmas poinsettia is etched on the other side, a reminder of Christ's birth. According to this legend, if you break the center five white doves will be released to spread good will and peace."

Thank you Bill for understanding our lesson and evangelizing it for others. It has become your legacy now and others will carry it forward.

Rest in peace.
