WINGED OX (SAINT LUKE) - Luke the Evangelist, the author of the third gospel account (and the Acts of the Apostles), is symbolized by a winged ox or bull – a figure of sacrifice, service and strength.   Luke's account begins with the duties of Zacharias in the temple; it represents Jesus' sacrifice in His Passion and Crucifixion, as well as Christ being High priest.   The ox signifies that Christians should be prepared to sacrifice themselves in following Christ.
