Jesus: In Symbols
| SYMBOL | MEANING |
|---|---|

Jesus is often referred to as "the anchor that holds." Many feel that Jesus metaphorically calms their seas, steadies their ship and guides you home. |
 |
Candles are often lit in worship services as a reminder of Jesus' presence in follower's lives. After the service, the light is carried into the world to show that Jesus is for all people, everywhere. |
 |
Daisies often remind us of adolescence, 'love me nots,' and innocence. In the late 15th century, the daisy represented the innocence of the Christ Child. Unlike the lily - another floral symbol for Jesus, daisies are unpretentious and less exotic. |
 |
Dawn is the start of a new day. Knowing Jesus, to many people, is the start of a new day, new life. |

The lamb has several meanings in the Christian faith. Followers of Christianity are often referred to as a flock, with Jesus being the Good Shepherd. Lambs are often sacrified in Greek and Roman religions, like Jesus sacrificed himself for the forgiveness of sins. |
 |
Why is Jesus called a lion? Lions are powerful, dangerous, majestic and a symbol of royalty. |

Pelicans are extremely attentive to their young, sometimes providing their own blood for nourishment. Like the pelican, Jesus sacrificed his blood, or body, for sinners. |
