Evangelistic Symbols

Evangelistic Symbols: These four symbols, which have their origin in the mystical interpretation of the first chapter of Ezekiel(ver. 10) compared with the fourth chapter of Revelation(ver. 6, 7), occur on at least one coat of arms.

Azure, on a cross or between the symbols of the four evangelists of the last, five lions rampant gules, armed and langued azure--REYNOLDS, Bp. of Worc. 1309, afterwards Abp. of Cant. 1314-1327.
