"And John bore record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him" (Bible, John 1:32).  The descending dove is a very common motif on grave memorials.  Seven doves are representative of the seven spirits of God or the Holy Spirit in its sevenfold gifts of grace. Purity, devotion, Divine Spirit. People of the Jewish faith believe the dove to symbolize peace.</description>

            <description>Peace, hope or promise. This symbol stems from Judeo-Christian culture and the biblical story of Noah and the great flood.  When the dove returned to the ark with an olive branch from the Mount of Olives in its beak, it was a sign of God's forgiveness.  It is now a common secular symbol.</description>

          <term pictureURL="">{Dragon}
            <description>Dramatically different interpretation between Eastern and Western cultures. In the Orient, the dragon protects humans from evil spirits and represents joy, health and fertility. But in Western cultures, the dragon possesses the negative traits of the snake, destruction, danger, depravity, and loss of innocence. In Jewish tradition, mythical danger, depravity, and loss of innocence. In Jewish tradition, mythical beasts like the dragon are messianic creatures. Also, a dragon being defeated by St. George depicts triumph over sin.</description>

            <description>This is the most common animal symbol found on a child's grave. The lamb appears throughout the ages with great regularity in Christian art and because it is a symbol of Christ: "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29).  The use of the lamb in religious art pre-dates Christianity and appears to have been used first by the Egyptians. It signifies purity and innocence. Christ in his sacrificial role and personifies: innocence, meekness, gentleness and humility.</description>

Its image embellished everything from the Catacombs to everyday objects, like lamps, especially in early Romanesque and Byzantine churches. (The peacock, for obvious reasons, was also used as a symbol for pride, too).</description>

            <description>At first glance, these hands all seem to be in the same fashion but a number of interesting characteristics stand out.  First, most of the hands illustrate the right hand in a grasp with fingers overlapping the other hand, while the left hand is open. This could be the depiction of a man holding a woman's hand and indicate marriage or a close bond between individuals, unity and affection even after death.  Clasped hands are also symbolic of a farewell or last good-bye.  Look at the cuff to distinguish between a man's or woman's hand (women would have a frilly cuff).  The person who died first holds the other's hand, guiding the spouse to heaven.  Clasped hands could be joined by a ribbon.</description>

            <description>The triskele, or triple spiral, a symbol closely related to the triquetra, is a tripartite symbol composed of three interlocked spirals.  The spiral is an ancient Celtic symbol related to the sun, afterlife and reincarnation, often found on Neolithic "tombs", such as Newgrange, where it is supposed by some to be a symbol of pregnancy (the sun describes a spiral in its movements every three months; a triple spiral represents nine months), an idea reinforced by the womb like nature of the structure. The symbol also suggests reincarnation- it is drawn in one continuous line, suggesting a continuous movement of time.  Triskeles are one of the most common elements of Celtic art; they are found in a variety of styles in both ancient and modern Celtic art, especially in relation to depictions of the Mother Goddess. They also evoke the Celtic concept of the domains of material existence- earth, water, and sky, and their interrelations.</description>

          <description>A cross like shape formed by a combination of two Greek letters, chi (X) and rho (P) corresponding to CH and R of the word, Christ, hence a symbol for Jesus Christ. This symbol is also known as the Monogram of Christ, Constantine's Cross, the Chrismon, the Christogram and the Chi- Rho. Since the Roman emperor Constantine I used this symbol on his shield, overcame his enemy in battle, and consequently converted to Christianity, the labarum has been a symbol of Christianity.  In pre- Christian Greece it signified a good omen . It also represented the Chaldean sky god. Today the letters may be reversed as PX to represent "pax" or "peace".</description>

The "I" stands for Ihsus or Ihcuc, the name of Jesus in Greek, with the S and C being variant forms in the Greek alphabet.  When these are found on tombstones it stresses the identity of the individual with Jesus Christ.  Originally a Roman Catholic, particularly Jesuit, symbol.2.  The letters have also been interpreted (with conscious intention to enrich the meaning) as "Jesus Hominum Salvator", or"Jesus Saviour of Mankind", and "In Hac Salus", "In This (Cross) Salvation" (OED).3.  "In hoc signo".  On the eve of battle, Constantine, had a vision of a banner bearing the phrase, "In hoc signo vinces", meaning "In this sign you will conquer".  Constantine won the battle and converted to Christianity. As it is used on both Protestant and Catholic gravestones, this symbol illustrates the variant meanings that can be ascribed to the one motif depending on denomination.

The compass, used in geometric calculations, symbolizes creation and the spirit.  The set-square draws perfect right angles, so represents uprightness and lawfulness.  The compass and the square measure things, so they symbolize judgment. They also represent geometry, and the union of the sky (the compass's circle) and the earth (the square).
