Pelican in Her Piety Button
SKU: 107.0715
|
Overview
Pelican in Her Piety Button
Actual Size: one inch in diameter
It was medieval belief that, if a pelican was unable to find enough food to feed her young, she would peck at her own breast and feed the drops of blood to her young.
It is because of this belief that the pelican has long been a symbol of selflessness and charity.
The symbol of the Pelican in her Piety is use in heraldry for just such a person or family.
In the 13th century, this figure became widely used in Christian art to represent Christ's voluntary sacrifice.
