DS2 and I are reading a book called The Mystery of the Golden Pelican (part of the Three Cousins Detective Series) and learned about pelicans being a symbol of Jesus. The ancient myth about pelicans is that the mother bird, in times of famine, would pluck her breast with her beak and feed her babies with her own blood. In some versions the mother died in giving her babies life. Christians took this myth and saw in it a picture of what Jesus did for us.
