The Gye Nyame (Gee-Ya-May) symbol is a revered cultural and religious symbol of the Akan people who settled in West Africa centuries ago. The meaning draws from an African proverb about the mystery of creation; that there is no life that existed at its beginning and none will witness its end, except God. It speaks to the power of God to make all things possible regardless of circumstances.
