The Communion of Saints

This is our visual aid for the communion of saints.
At the top is the Church Triumphant--the saints and angel who are already in Heaven. In the middle is the Church Suffering--those who are in purgatory being re-fined. We have the crucifix here because Jesus dies again everytime we sin. Then at the bottom is the Church Militant--those who are still here on earth, praying for those in purgatory and spreading the message of Christ's redemption as we live.
Of course, my brilliant children (Sarah gets the credit for thinking of this) interpreted the triangle as candy corn. I guess we'll never look at candy corn in the same way again, huh?
