Hey,
When I was deciding about a background for my blog, my Mum said something about the Catholic Symbols of Jesus. They were in a kids colouring in book, so Mum went and got it and one of the symbols was a butterfly. I decided to use it and researched a bit of it on the net. Here is what I found:
Catholic Christian symbolism in art provides a clear graphic illustration which represents people or items of religious significance. What is the definition and the meaning of the Butterfly? The Butterfly Christian Symbol represents and symbolizes the Resurrection. The butterfly has three phases during its life:
1. The caterpillar - The caterpillar which just eats symbolises normal earthly life where people are preoccupied with taking care of their physical needs.
2. The chrysalis or cocoon - The chrysalis or cocoon resembles the tomb.
3. The butterfly - The butterfly represents the resurrection into a glorious new life free of material restrictions.
The Grace of Our Lord Jesus be with you all,
Chanel
