This deaconship lasted two short years. A few times each year a deacon is assigned to supervise the church for an entire month. This was an enormous amount of responsibility but it was satisfying to know that my elders trusted me. The jobs of the deacon of the month included opening the church, assuring the service went smoothly, and then closing the church. While I was a deacon, a small group within my church traveled twenty hours to New York City to help mend the wreckage brought forth by Hurricane Sandy. I spent ten days in New York, working with several familiar and unfamiliar faces from sun up to sun down. We aided families that were without food by working at a homeless shelter. Many of the people we were feeding had very interesting stories. We also prepared care packages and delivered them to families that could not travel to the shelters. As a group, we finished tearing down a home so a new one could be rebuilt. Our small group of twelve people also cleaned two churches that were affected by the hurricane.

Christian symbolism, especially images that refer to the crucifixion of Christ, is present throughout The Old Man and the Sea. During the old man’s battle with the marlin, his palms are cut by his fishing cable. Given Santiago’s suffering and willingness to sacrifice his life, the wounds are suggestive of Christ’s stigmata, and Hemingway goes on to portray the old man as a Christ-like martyr. As soon as the sharks arrive, Santiago makes a noise one would make “feeling the nail go through his hands and into the wood.” And the old man’s struggle up the hill to his village with his mast across his shoulders is evocative of Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which
