 Right side is the St. Thomas Cross, but in the perspective of God facing his people, it is the right side that is the word of God, Jesus Christ, who is present in the gospel. And on the left side is the St. Thomas Cross, which symbolizes the Holy Spirit, the vivifying principle of the church and his continual presence in the church and his protection to the church. And so the throne of God is there. God is facing his people as we begin this ceremony.
