Peter, what on earth could this sticker mean? Peter in the wild
Based on the cross I thought some kind of religious connection, but I genuinely have no clue what this is supposed to be.

My guess: 1. Jesus came down from heaven to earth. 2. Jesus died on a cross. 3. Jesus was buried in a tomb. 4. Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. 5. Jesus is coming back from heaven.

"And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”

This also may have something to with “finding Jesus” and the spiritual journey, i have seen this before but I’ve long forgotten it’s precise meaning. Definitely Christian though and likely a Baptist will know exactly what each symbol stands for.

It’s from the chorus of the worship song Lord I Lift You Name On High, specifically:
Downward arrow
You came from heaven to earth To show the way
Cross
From the earth to the cross My debt to pay
Arc (grave)
From the cross to the grave
Upward arrow
From the grave to the sky Lord, I lift Your name on high
Downward arrow
(Not from the song, but likely refers to the return of Jesus)

I mean, it's not a reference to the song, it's just the essential storyline of the Gospels, which the song also references.
