The golden statue is an original interpretation of “Assumption.” Christians venerate the mother of Christ as the seat of wisdom and as taught by St. Louis Marie de Montfort, Christ is the wisdom seated on the throne. The mother of Christ is the dwelling place of the supreme wisdom of all science. The university is the Alma Mater or our mother who is also the dwelling place of knowledge. In this context “Assumption,” besides its religious connotation in the glorification of the mother of Christ, has yet another meaning in Thai language, “The Abode of Abiding Knowledge.” Assumption is the seat of wisdom.
