LION: An
emblem of majesty, strength, and justice, military might and deathless
courage,
the Lion was indeed a foe to fear. The French heralds call the
lion
passant a leopard; accordingly Napoleon said to his soldiers, "Let us
drive
these leopards (the English) into the sea." In heraldry any Lion
not
rampant is often called a lion leopardé. The Lion is also
an
emblem of the resurrection; according to tradition, the lion's whelp is
born dead, and remains so for three days, when the father breathes on
it
and it receives life. |
