| Going clockwise, the next evangelist is St. Luke, represented by the ox. The ox or calf was a common sacrificial animal for the Jewish people. Luke's Gospel begins with the story of the priest Zechariah and goes on to emphasize the sacrificial nature of Christ's death and His divine priesthood. Because of this emphasis, Luke's emblematic figure came to be the ox. |  |
