Secret meaning of symbols

First, in the St Vincent's Anglican Church logo (shown on he left) there are four black birds (you probably noticed that) and there were four members of the Beatles, all of whom had black hair.

Two of the birds in the logo are singing (top-right & bottom-left) and these represent John and Paul, the main singers; the bird drumming its beak (top-left) is Ringo Starr, and the least showbizzy (bottom-right) is George Harrison.

It's surely no coincidence that Paul McCartney wrote the song Blackbird and a poetry book Blackbird Singing. If you listen closely to the master recording of "Blackbird" on The White Album, you can hear a real blackbird chirping in the background. On 11 June 1968, sound engineer Stuart Eltham went out into the backyard of Abbey Road Studios and recorded 35 seconds of a common British blackbird singing. This specific recording from the EMI sound effects library was mixed directly into the final track, making a literal blackbird an official (albeit uncredited) guest musician on a Beatles record.

The distinct, fluid guitar picking style of "Blackbird" was actually inspired by a piece of classical music about a different kind of bird. As teenagers, Paul McCartney and George Harrison tried to learn Johann Sebastian Bach’s "Bourrée in E minor" to show off their musical chops. They couldn't play it perfectly, so McCartney altered the structure, keeping the simultaneous bassline and melody. Interestingly, Bach's "Bourrée" was originally written for the lute, an instrument traditionally associated with the courtly replication of nature and birdsong. McCartney’s adaptation transformed this classical framework into his own ode to a bird.

The pop music of the Beatles was an inspiration to the American group The Byrds, who deliberately misspelt their name, as the Beatles had done.

If that's not proof enough, then let's look at the Liverpool locations where the four lads grew up:

(JL)	John Lennon	251 Menlove Avenue, Woolton
(PM)	Paul McCartney	20 Forthlin Road, Allerton
(GH)	George Harrison	12 Arnold Grove, Wavertree
(RS)	Ringo Starr	9 Madryn Street, Dingle

A cursory look at the map shows quite conclusively that they lived in four quadrants, divided by major crossroads.

Is it coincidence that the road they crossed in 1969 was Abbey Road?

All the above is nonsense, of course. And yet was is absolutely true is that the meaning of the cross on which Jesus died, applied to the Beatles as much as it applies to you and me today.
