Nicely put, Matt(hew)! You made me think about intercessory prayers. This also reminded me of how thrilled I was to discover this iconography in one of my first college art history courses: Matthew is represented by a divine man or angel. Mark by a winged lion, Luke by a winged ox, and John by a rising eagle.

Thank you, Lois! The iconography is very interesting the more I learn. I’ve purchased a few books about it (added to my “I’m sure I’ll read these one day” stack.)
