Sand Dollar
The markings on a sand dollar represent aspects of Christ's birth and death.
1. The five-point outline on the front of the sand dollar represents the star of Bethlehem.
2. The five holes in the sand dollar represent the pierced hands, feet, and side of Christ.
3. When the sand dollar is opened, it yields five small objects that look remarkably like doves in flight, thus representing the Holy Spirit.

I really like your web-site, and I thought the story about the Easter Bunny was great. I may use it tonight in our youth group meeting.
Thanks,
Jeremy
