First sentence: THE frequent allusions in the Old Testament to the "Hand" and "Arm of the Lord" as the instruments of His sovereign Power, and performing the various acts of His Will, gave rise to the use of this symbol, which was the only one expressive of the Divine Presence during the first eleven centuries of Christian Art.
