Symbolism in this Sacred Space

"You have created us for you O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You"

The human heart is restless and thirsty for peace, love, truth and fulfilment. The sacred space of the Chapel with the inner ambience seeks to fill the inner void and to respond to an innate constant yearning of the soul.

As one enters the chapel, one immediately notices the big wooden cross and, on its side, the tabernacle that holds a specially designed Mdina Glass ostensory (monstrance).

These stand behind a wooden cage-like structure symbolising man's limitations.

Nevertheless, man is allowed to capture a sense of splendour of heavens through the evanescent dark blue background radiant with star-like lights.
