The pelican as a Christian symbol of 'The Atonement' by the act of unselfish sacrafice in giving all of one's self so that others may live. Thus being cleansed from our sins by Christ's shedding of his precious blood so we may know the way to everlasting life.

So that its children will not starve, the pelican parent will give of its own flesh and blood to sustain the family's life. Jesus model of selfless love or agape reveals the sacred heart of our all loving God.
