A Taste of Hong Kong Lasallian Heritage

The Flaming Torch
Location : Garden, La Salle College
This is one of six which “lighted”the entrance to the old building. They were placed between the columns of the front portico. The flaming torch is a symbol of learning and the quest for knowledge. It also suggests the warmth in the human heart, the goodness of light keeping the evil of darkness at bay. We are to pass on the torch of learning and the light of God’s truth to succeeding generations. Another smaller flaming torch can be seen atop the rear entrance to the College. This is one of several which were stationed at the first landings leading from the side entrances to the G/F and also leading to the field.
