It was said that the pelican,a water bird, wounded its own breast and fed its young with its blood. It came to represent paternal devotion and, more importantly, the sacrifice of Christ.
“Behold, pelican waters you with his blood and the waters of his heart. If you accept them fittingly….you will at once be alive and well” (Angelus Silesius).
