Two Dimensional Wooden Figures

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atriums use 2-D wooden figures to portray parable figures. Why not 3-dimensional? Because 3-dimensional figures represent real people who lived in a real time in a real place - parables represent many situations, while describing one particular situation, they actually have many levels of truth and can be universally applied; so we leave them 2-dimensional without facial details to leave room open for those other layers of reality to shine through.

And we never reveal to the child what those truths are - we may guide them along a path towards proper doctrine, but the child almost always come to a deeper truth than we could have told him or explained to him.

For a limited time only, the 2-dimensional wooden figures of the atrium will be available at 2-Dimensional Wooden Figures. Available additional items include the liturgical calendar, the Cosmic Cross puzzle and more. If you don't see something you'd like to order, send a request and it can be probably be done! :) Figures will need to be painted by you and inserted into their (included) bases.
