Church stained glass windows sometimes use animal symbols which have literal and symbolic meanings. Here are some of the symbols represented by animals.
Ant: Is a symbol of dedication and hard work. Ants work with each other to get a job done, like Christians work together for a common goal of spreading the Good News.
Birds: Birds are a symbol of the human spirit.
Butterfly: Is a symbol of the resurrection.
Donkey: Is a symbol of prophecy fulfilled.
Sheep: Is a symbol of Christians. Christians are the sheep, Jesus is the Good Shepherd who takes care of us.
When a biblical scene is painted in a stained glass church window careful attention is paid to symbols and their meanings. For more information, please visit our website.
