SYMBOL OF DE LA SALLE The waters of baptism are the beginning and source of our life. They are our means of entrance even as the crossing of a moat was the entrance to the fortress of old. Our baptism is our first protection against sin, even as the moat is the first line of protection for the fortress. Our faith and our education are the fortress we are given for security in this life. Our faith protects us from the spiritual death and our education provides security against being jobless, homelss, or hungry. Education and growth in faith are the tasks of the Christian school. This is certainly true of De La Salle. Moreover, because of its location on the island, this is not only an institution by a river, but has almost literally a moat. All of these are implications of the symbol. However it should be kept in mind that a symbol is primarily a means of indentification; it is not meant to be a picture or picture story. That is why we say that it implies the meanings listed above. It is not a picture of those things but it recalls them to mind for the person who is familiar with one or more of them. 4
