THIS AMAZING RELIGIOUS BELL HAS THE FOLLOWING LATIN MARKING AND SYMBOLS AROUND THE BELL; AGNUS X PELICANUS X LEO X AQUILA. THE BELL MEASURES 7cm x 6.5cm. IT DOES NOT HAVE A CLANGER.
THE MEANING OF SYMBOLS ON THE BELL ARE AS FOLLOWS :
AQUILA – THE EAGLE OF ST. JOHN WHO PROCLAIMED THE HEAVENLY NATURE OF OUR LORD AND THUS THE EAGLE WAS USED. THE EAGLE SOARS HIGH ON IT’S POWERFUL WINGS TOWARDS THE HEAVENS, AND IN THE SAME WAY, ST. JOHN SOARED SPIRITUALLY UPWARDS TO THE “HEAVEN OF HEAVENS” TO CONTEMPLATE THE DIVINE NATURE OF CHRIST AND BRING BACK TO EARTH, REVELATIONS OF SUBLIME AND AWFUL MYSTERIES.
AGNUS – THE LAMB; THIS DENOTES THE SUPREME SACRIFICE OF OUR LORD.
PELICANUS – THE PELICAN IS THE SYMBOL OF THE ATONEMENT AND ACCORDING TO LEGEND, THE PELICAN PIERCES ITS OWN BREAST TO FEED ITS YOUNG THEREFORE GIVING ITS LIFE BLOOD TO SAVE ITS OWN. THE BLOOD OF CHRIST WAS SHED FOR ALL PEOPLE FOR THE ATONEMENT OF THEIR SINS.
LEO – THE LION, SYMBOLIZES ST. MARK WHO REPRESENTS THE KINGLY NATURE OF OUR LORD, THE LION BEING THE KING OF BEASTS.
THE LADDER – IN VARIOUS FORMS WHICH IS SHOWN WITH ALL THE ABOVE SYMBOLS WAS ONE OF THE EARLY SYMBOLS OF THE LORD’S CRUCIFIXION.
