The weaving of tribal symbols into halos creates a paradox, igniting a dialogue on the interplay between Christianity and the ancient beliefs of tribal societies, predating the era of colonialism. Within this duality, a sense of kinship emerges, mirroring the ways in which so many of us find our spiritual connection to a higher power through the religious customs of our families. As we evolve and contemplate our intrinsic beliefs, we inevitably question the origins of these faiths, examining the beliefs held by our ancestors before the imposition of new traditions.
