The Holy Ghost Shell, or the Sand Dollar, is found along the beaches and strands of the Atlantic seaboard and in profusion along the beaches of North Carolina. When the shell is broken open, several symbols are revealed that includes the star of Bethlehem, the Easter Lily, and five points symbolic of the five wounds given Christ before crucifixion.
