  Disciple:               St. Thomas: (Apostle, Martyr)  The patron of builders ( thus the carpenter's square). He is said to have
                                built a Church with his own hands in East India. The spear refers to his supposed martyrdom at the hand
                                of King Midsai for converting his Queen to Christianity.

  Biblical Scene:     People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly
                                to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me; do
                                not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs; Truly I tell you, whoever does not
                                receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter in.: (Mark 10: 13-15)

  Cross:                   The Bottony Cross ( or Botonnee): Sometimes called the Budded cross because of the moderate form
                                 of its trefoil ends. Hence it suggests the young or immature Christian.
