Story
The lion is considered the king of the land and is one of the most widely known animal symbols. It has been used in art field paintings and carvings such as winged lion statues, is mentioned in the literature, and is depicted on flags. Therefore, different lions have different meanings in the past. For example, the winged lion is a mythical creature that dates back to ancient times. The Lion of Saint Mark is a winged lion that symbolically represents Saint Mark the Evangelist, patron of Venice. It is a symbol used to give an immediate and unique sign of identity and power.
The Stone
The name chalcedony comes from the Latin chalcedonius (alternatively spelled calchedonius) and is probably derived from the town of Chalcedon in Turkey. The name appears in Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia as a term for a translucent kind of jaspis. Another reference to a gem by the name of khalkedon (χαλκηδών) is found in the Book of Revelation; however, it is an hapax legomenon found nowhere else in the Bible, so it is hard to tell whether the precious gem mentioned in Revelation is the same as the mineral known by this name today. The term plasma is sometimes used to refer to green translucent chalcedony.
