     The Columbine  flower is one of the symbols for Pentecost Sunday. This Holy day is celebrated by Christians on the fiftieth day after Easter. The sacred day commemorates the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles. It marks the end of the Resurrection season and the beginning of the universal Church.  This day is also known as Whitsunday  in European countries. 

     The white dove symbolizes the baptisms on the first Pentecost Sunday, where red rose petals are also sprinkled to represents the miracle of the fiery tongues from Acts. The Columbine flower is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, derived from the latin word Columba meaning dove. The flower is named for its dove shaped petals that resemble a dove in flight.

This sunrise prayer bible verse is a reminder to not be anxious about anything, instead put our trust in God to guide us through the challenges of life.  Written by apostle Paul when he was in prison, Philippians 4:6-7 continues to provide guidance in managing anxiety in our lives today. 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,

 by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, 

present your requests to God. 

 And the peace of God, 

which transcends all understanding,

 will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
