clearly your unitarian upbringing taught you nothing of the stuggles of our lord Mr. Christ. The flame is probablt the burning bush and the other thing is clearly the crown of thorns. can’t quite make out the others, but if I had to guess it would prob be his bird of the cool and walking stick of awesomeness.
These 4 symbols represent the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The shepherd’s crook is representative of Jesus’ ministry to the disciples and those he met. The dove is from the story of Jesus baptism by John and is the symbol of the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus. The crown of thorns was placed on Jesus as part of Jesus’ crucifixtion where he was declared the “King of the Jews”. The flames are the symbol of the birth of the church which hapened on Pentecost- 90 days after Easter. Thus the 4 symbols represent the ministry of Jesus- baptism, life and ministry among people,his crucifixtion, and resurection, the beginning of the church.
