The Nasrani Menorah, also known as the Mar Thoma Sliba, is the symbol of the Knanaya people. It is similar to the Jewish Menorah, the ancient symbol of the Jewish people, with seven branches in the icon. There are six branches of the cross representing the appearance of God in the burning bush, while the central branch holds the cross, and the dove at the tip of the cross represents the Holy Spirit.
