A winged ox, I've never seen that before.
I'll asked my son-in-law to take us for a drive over there. He lives close to the area. This is very interesting.
The winged ox is different and intriguing. Nice photo.
A winged ox appears on the coat of arms of St. Luke. This is a fascinating sculpture. The building below is interesting as well.
Did not know there was a connection between St. Luke and oxen. Hmmm... maybe that will come up in a trivia game someday! :)
In the Catholic Dict. it says that the winged ox is associated with Luke 'cause his gospel emphasizes Christ's sacrifice on the cross and an ox was the animal of sacrifice .
That's very different! I would not have known it was for St. Luke or why.
I only discovered it to-day when it was posted on a Liverpool site. I went to that church in my young days, it was placed there long after I left.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please leave me a message. Jim.
This statue in the grounds of St Lukes Anglican Church, in the south western suburb of Liverpool, is of a Winged Ox which is a symbol of St Luke.
