The mazeโ€™s starting point is the golden sphere at the base of the Cross. It is designed as a โ€œclosed mazeโ€ in that the starting point is fully contained within the maze itself to symbolize the all-encompassing nature of the Creator. 

The red around the outer ring that frames the Cross is symbolic of Christโ€™s sacrifice for humanity. There are 7 large red โ€œdropletsโ€ that drip down to signify โ€œall things in Christ,โ€ while also evoking the 7 Days of Creation and the 7 Heavenly Bodies that can be perceived with the naked eye (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, and Jupiter). Further, the 7 smaller dripping โ€œdotsโ€ found between the droplets are there to remind us of the wider and unknowable mysteries of God and Creation.

Throughout the work there are found many groupings of 3 which are reference to the Holy Trinity and also to the astronomical trinity of Sun, Earth, and Moon. The 4 spheres found in each segment of the Cross speak to the 4 quarters of the Moon, the 4 phases of life, the 4 directions of the compass, and the 4 elements (Fire, Air, Water, Earth) which frame manโ€™s understanding of the natural world and are the foundation of the natural sciences and technological progress. Finally, considering the concept of ๐—ง ๐—œ ๐—  ๐—˜ in the literal sense, the 3 rings that frame the center of the Cross are reference to Past, Present, and Future all held within the Oneness of God.
