The "Pelican in Her Piety" is a symbolic image that has been used in Christian art for centuries. The image depicts a pelican, often shown with its beak in its chest, drawing blood to feed its young. This symbolism is rooted in an ancient belief that pelicans, when food was scarce, would wound themselves and feed their blood to their chicks to sustain them.
In Christian iconography, this image is used to symbolize Christ's sacrifice. Just as the pelican is depicted as sacrificing its own blood to nourish its young, Christ's crucifixion and sacrifice are seen as a means of providing spiritual nourishment and salvation to humanity. The pelican in its piety thus becomes a metaphor for Christ's self-sacrifice and the ultimate act of love and redemption
