Description

The Dolphin is associated with duality. Being a fish and mammal (of the water…breathing air.)It is of both worlds.  This yin and yang ability makes the dolphin the “King of Fish,” to many ancient cultures.  Dolphins are known for their playfulness, gentleness, intelligence and ability to work together in a group.

Christian symbolism conveys the dolphin as an aspect of Christ. Dolphins seen in Christian art are symbolic of resurrection. Some artists utilize the protective, stabilizing, compassionate demeanor of the dolphin as a message of wellbeing to the pure of heart. Some artistic renditions speak of dolphins transporting the spirits of the faithful to Christ’s side upon leaving their physical bodies.
