Shield_of_Trinity_in_hexagon.svg


Description

A version of the "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional western Christian symbolism which fits within a hexagon. The "positive" or asserting parts of the diagram are black, while the "negative" or denying parts of the diagram are red. Loosely inspired by an octagonal stained-glass window in Barcelona Cathedral. [1] For further information on the basic diagram, see the en:Shield of the Trinity article.
