Much symbolism is connected to the [[icons]], the [[cross]], the [[vestments]].
The Church also uses bread, wine, wheat, oil, water, flowers, and fruits because their very being and existence serve as expressions of God, as symbols of his presence and action in the world for man, his love, mercy, goodness, life , and the very presence given to man in creation and salvation; in short, symbols of truth.
[[Incense]] is the symbol of the rising of [[prayer]]s, of spiritual sacrifice, and of the sweet-smelling fragrance of the [[Kingdom of God]].
Light is a universal symbol for the mystical presence of God as the True, the Beautiful and the Good.
