AS coronavirus sweeps across the UK, many people have responded by putting rainbow pictures in their windows. But what do these pictures represent?
For Jews and Christians the rainbow has special significance because of the story of Noah's Ark which we find in the book of Genesis. God placed a rainbow in the sky as a symbol of his promise to never again send a flood like the one that Noah had survived in the ark. So today, the rainbow is a symbol of hope for us, and a reminder that God keeps his promises.
If you haven't drawn or painted a rainbow to place in your window, you might like to look at the 'I can pray a rainbow' PDF that accompanies this article.
