I suspect (and stand to be corrected) that the blue colour is a vestige of our denomination's Scottish heritage. St. Andrew's Cross, the official blue and white emblem of Scotland, is still often displayed behind renderings of the burning bush in many Canadian Presbyterian churches. It's interesting to me that the PC(USA) discontinued use of the burning bush - long a symbol of the Reformed tradition - in favour of a dominant cross. Hi Dan,

Thanks for dropping by – and for the question.

I suspect (and stand to be corrected) that the blue colour is a vestige of our denomination’s Scottish heritage. St. Andrew’s Cross, the official blue and white emblem of Scotland, is still often displayed behind renderings of the burning bush in many Canadian Presbyterian churches.

It’s interesting to me that the PC(USA) discontinued use of the burning bush – long a symbol of the Reformed tradition – in favour of a dominant cross.
