This Square was meant to be a revision of the Anja square created for the Anja Blokkies Trooskombers group, so you will see some similarities, however, it took a life of its own and hence has a completely different name.

I asked my husband to name this square, and he chose the name Hosanna. He said it was particularly significant given the current crisis we face with COVID-19.

The word Hosanna as most Christians would know is a shout of praise. The word, however, originates from the Old Testament and was actually a cry for help and over time this changed to Praise God.

I think it’s a beautiful name and very apt. Interestingly he didn’t see the square when he chose the name and the creation of a cross was not intentional, in fact I only really noticed it when the square was done in a single colour.

I do hope you will enjoy making this square.
