Symbols - What does heaven look like
Dish and platter
A dish or a plate is a symbol of having been Beheaded. The symbolism derives from the story of John the Baptist in the Bible [see below]. By being able to divorce the lower half of your body you deprive your mind of the sensations coming from it and thereby are more able to have a spiritual experience.
The platter used in the Holy Grail story is an allegory of Beheading.
