Leo - the Lion: The king of the beasts therefore the kingly nature of Christ; that and the old belief that a lion could die at birth and after three days the male lion brought it
back to life by licking and breathing on it.
Aquila - the Eagle: The symbolism there could be referring to the eagle of
St John the Evangelist or equally to the majestic bird ascending to the heavens
on strong wings.
Agnus - the Lamb: the most common, and best known symbol, of the Eucharist
is the lamb of God. Based on the tradition of offering a lamb
as sacrifice ergo Christ the sacrificial lamb.

tearing flesh from its own breast and feeding them with its blood.
