CBCP releases official logo for 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the country

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has released the official logo for the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity here in the country in 2021.

“The official logo of the 500 Years of Christianity that the Church in the Philippines will be celebrating in 2021 was approved,” Father Marvin Mejia, CBCP Secretary-General, said in a circular dated September 19. The Cross, depicted as the Magellan’s cross, signifies the Christian sign of salvation. It also depicts the strong mast or a tall post as the structure of the ship to carry the sails.

The Hovering Colour Of Blue shows various symbolisms. It depicts the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. Through the Holy Spirit, we are made sharer of the Divine Life in the sacrament of baptism. It is also like a cloud of the sky which manifests the presence of God for the early Israelites. It is also slightly attached to the cross or the mast as a sail of the ship, significantly telling us that through the Holy Spirit the missionaries were led to our country, bringing us to Christianity.
