The woman standing above the crest depicts a virgin which evokes the meaning of chastity , purity and wisdom.
The anchor she is holding represents the Christian Faith.
The Lion within the crest represents the people of Christian European Heritage. This symbol can also be found in British and American Emblems where there is an inter-relationship between the Lion and the Eagle alluded to in Biblical Prophecy.

Nauticat Shore Cruise Algoa Bay Port Elizabeth
The Algoa Bay "Nauticat" used to depart from the harbour and cruise the Port Elizabeth shoreline on evening and day cruises. Aboard the vessel were facilities to braai and a pub, a real treat for locals and tourist alike, but unfortunately the cruises came to an end after the "Nauticat" left the Bay area.

Blacks Murder Kia Fairhead (12) Port Elizabeth
Kia Fairhead (12)and her mother Brenda Fairhead were BEATEN, RAPED and STRANGLED in the Eastern Cape by black criminal thugs exacting savage acts on this family. This article omits the beating and savage rape of this family. (Read the full STORY in the Dispatch Newspaper or on the DISPATCH Online Website 06 June 2000. Article initialed ECN.)
There have been over 300 000 violent murders in South Africa since 1994. The family above were on holiday and were viciously gang raped and murdered. The article starts with the impression that the area was Port Alfred but it was in fact Storms River just outside Port Elizabeth. If you are coming on holiday to the Eastern Cape keep your children in view and always watch your back.

Celebrate Ascension Day, 40 Days after Easter Algoa Bay Port Elizabeth

The Importance of Ascension Day
2003 - Vol 2
QUOTE “The very name holiday means “holy day.” Most holidays have religious significance. The events that a society chooses to centre its holidays around speak volumes about the religious worldview and value systems of that society.
For example: Ascension Day used to be a holiday in South Africa. Yet few of us ever appreciated its significance, until the government abolished it as a public holiday. It has been replaced with days that celebrate mankind, such as “Human Rights’ Day”; ”Women’s Day”; “Workers’ Day” and ”Youth Day” - yet another indication that our government has rejected Christianity and embraced Humanism.
This is far more serious than we may at first suspect. Along with these secular “holy days” have come the abolition of prayer in Parliament and the legalisation of abortion, homosexuality, gambling and pornography……..”

The Power in Your Hands Algoa Bay Port Elizabeth
Ever took the trouble to look at a person’s hands noting their subtle texture and gracious movements. Have you observed the miracle of anatomy at work, the incredible dexterity of the hand, all made possible by the interwoven muscle , delicate sinew, divinely engineered bones, flexible joints, all wrapped in the wondrous elasticity of skin? Hands can tell you something about a person, even their HAND MAKER? Hands like the eyes, mirror your inner thoughts and reveal aspects of your soul. A fortune teller uses the hands to give meaning to your past and to project the future, so the story goes. But hands tell you something about the awesome power of GOD, how fearfully and wonderfully you’ve been made in his image. Your hands and what you do with them express your inner feelings and desires and reveal the character of a person more quickly than trying to unwrap the hidden mysteries of someone’s life through hours of therapy in the psychologist’s room.
Have you ever considered that man’s most exceptional accomplishments have been achieved by directing one’s thoughts and energy through the hands? Think of Michelangelo with his beautiful painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Think of the awesome structure of St. Peter’s Basilica and even the more recent marvel of science, the Hubble Telescope. And then there’s the Great Wall of China and the incredible Paul Getty Museum with all its hidden art treasures. Think of the heavenly sounds of Handel’s “Messiah”, as the hands of the musicians play each musical note. Consider the Written Word such as Martin Luther’s “95 Theses” nailed to the Wittenburg door, or the Bible in your own language before the advent of the printing press. Think of the inner workings of the ancient clock and its impact on the life of the world, as Londoners find in “Big Ben”. These feats were all accomplished through the diligent work of the hands.
The beautiful hands of mother Teresa. (Mother Teresa – The Spirit and the Work)
Your hands express your deepest emotions, ever heard the saying concerning “idle hands”? Have you taken the time to observe the hands of lovers in a loving embrace? Or the person receiving reassurance through a pat on the back? Have you ever been in awe after consciously taking in the wondrous beauty of the head of a baby being supported in the palm of its mothers hand, or the gentle clasp of a baby’s tiny hand as it clings to its mother’s finger? Caste your mind back to a time when you’ve seen a husband’s face encompassed by the hands of a wife in loving desire, or the hands placed atop a child’s head as a reminder of a parents love. Now think of the power in Mother Teraea’s hands when she was active in ministry.
Focus on the hands of those closest to you, such as those of your friends, your fiancé, your husband, your wife, and even your children. Think of a baby’s hands, the image of love that comes to mind, the way GOD intends the image to be. Hands can be soft and warm, gentle and reassuring, like those of a nurse. Sometimes hands can be rough and strong like those of THE CARPENTER, the same hands they nailed to a tree.
Mary with the baby JESUS attended by angels. What work can a man do with his hands that is greater than this? (William Bouguereau’s “The Virgin with Angels” 1824-1905. The picture was displayed at the Paul Getty Museum in California. See ARC www.artrenewal.org )
The loving intimacy of your partner can even be sensed while holding her hand as you stroll through a park, or the intimacy you have with your CREATOR as you kneel beside your bed with your hands placed side by side, as a sign of humility and surrender to JESUS. Thank GOD for the wonder and power of your hands. Lay hands on the sick and the dying and they will recover just as the Bible teaches you. Let your hands do good, and do not use your hands for an evil cause, then the GOOD HAND of your FATHER will be on you. Always fall into the HAND of GOD before you trust the hands of men – LOVE through the gift and power of your hands.
