The walls at Georgetown's Gaston Hall




At Georgetown University's Gaston Hall (a popular venue for politicians and celebrities to give speeches) the walls are intricately designed; There are numerous depictions of signs and symbols. The elaborate art decorating the wall behind the podium captivated my attention. If a picture tells a thousand words? How many 'words' would the pictures of the walls of Gaston Hall tell? Maybe an encyclopedia's worth!


One symbol that particularly caught my eye of 'the wall' at Georgetown's Gaston Hall is the one of the Bible with a cross in the midst of it. It seems that I've seen several variations of this theme in a number of Protestant denomination's logo (emblems). Which Bible with cross came first? The one at Gaston Hall or the Protestant Logo?



What came first the chicken or the egg?



The chickens are home to roost?


Nobody here, but us chickens!





Arsenio.
