GYE NYAME - EXCEPT GOD

 

 

Symbol of the OMNIPOTENCE and the

OMNIPRESENCE OF GOD

 

 

From the Akan aphorism: Abode santann yi firi tete; obi nte ase a onim ne ahyease, na obi ntena ase nkosi ne awie, GYE NYAME.

Literal translation: This great panorama of creation dates back to time immemorial; no one lives who saw its beginning and no one will live to see its end, EXCEPT GOD.

 

 

The symbol reflects the Akan belief of a SUPREME BEING, the CREATOR who they refer to by various names - e.g., OBOADEE, NYAME, ONYANKOPON TWEREAMPON.
