The Four Faces: An exclusive design dripping with symbolism!
Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4 both include descriptions of four faces – Lion, Man, Ox, and Eagle – in prophetic texts to represent different aspects of God's authority.
- Lion as sovereign ruler
- Man as sympathetic humanity
- Ox as sacrificial servant
- Eagle as soaring divinity
As early as the 2nd century, each Gospel writer – also known as the Four Evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) – became associated with these symbols too. In the 5th/6th century, The Jerusalem Cross became one of the most recognizable emblems in the world. One interpretation of that emblem says the large cross represents Christ, while the four smaller crosses represent Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
We combine all of that into one exclusive design, available now on T-shirts, mugs, and vinyl decals only at Oneword Merch!
