In medieval bestiaries, the Pelican was often pictured piercing her own breast to feed her chicks her own blood. The ancients believed that, in times of scarcity, a pelican would feed its own flesh to its young, in order to sustain them. The church adopted this imagery (referencing Psalm 102:6) and applied it to Christ, who nurtures and protects His people with His own Body and Blood.Ad Crucem has created this beautiful image of the pelican, and it is available as a card here, each card purchased comes with a matching sticker. We also offer the image as a poster and an ornament.
